If Sarah things 0.00001 is bigger than 0.001, then let's try it! I am not going to tell you the exact answer, but I am going to help you solve this problem. Ok. So .00001 is one hundred thousandths of something. .001 is a thousandth of something. So which one would be smaller? Chopping a watermelon (random example) in one hundred thousand pieces or chopping a watermelon into a thousand pieces?
