compare these decimals by choosing greater then, less then, or equal to.
0.205 and 0.21
0.04 and 0.050
0.41 and 0.405
0.1 and 0.1000
Thank you,

To compare these decimals, line them up and down like this
0.205
0.210
(You can always add a zero to the end to make lining up more accurate, but be sure to drop it once you get your answer)
Ok so lets start with the Zeros, they are equal.
so next, the 2's are also equal.
Okay do 1 is greater than 0 so 0.210 is the answer for the first one.
continue this for the rest.
OK thank you!!!
Bailey :)
yeah no problem
To compare decimals, you can compare the digits from left to right until you find a difference. Here's how you can compare each pair of decimals:
1. 0.205 and 0.21:
- Both decimals have the same digit at the tenths place (0).
- Moving to the hundredths place, 0.205 has a digit 2, while 0.21 has a digit 1.
- Since 2 is greater than 1, we can conclude that 0.205 is greater than 0.21.
2. 0.04 and 0.050:
- Both decimals have the same digit at the tenths place (0).
- Moving to the hundredths place, 0.04 does not have a digit, but 0.050 has a digit 5.
- Since 5 is greater than nothing (0), we can conclude that 0.050 is greater than 0.04.
3. 0.41 and 0.405:
- Both decimals have the same digit at the tenths place (4).
- Moving to the hundredths place, 0.41 has a digit 1, while 0.405 has a digit 5.
- Since 5 is greater than 1, we can conclude that 0.405 is greater than 0.41.
4. 0.1 and 0.1000:
- Both decimals have the same digit at the tenths place (0).
- Moving to the hundredths place, 0.1 does not have a digit, but 0.1000 has a digit 0.
- The number of zeros after the tenths place doesn't affect the value of the decimal.
- Therefore, we can conclude that 0.1 is equal to 0.1000.
Comparing the decimals:
- 0.205 is greater than 0.21.
- 0.050 is greater than 0.04.
- 0.405 is greater than 0.41.
- 0.1 is equal to 0.1000.
