less than half because .5 is half of one

.5 = .50

compare the 2. that's what I do.

.50

.21

forget the decimal. and pretend that 100 = 1

Hope this helped

0.21 is less than half because a half is 0.5.

So 0.21 is less than 0.5 because the tenths place is less than 5 which makes 0.21 smaller than a half
