8.0 is a whole number = 8

0.8 is a fraction = 8/10

The fraction 8/10 is only part of a whole number.

Therefore 8.0 > 0.8

Hope this helps, :)

So,

Convert each of the decimals into fraction form, for example.

8.0 --> (8)/(1) \ or\ (80)/(10)

0.8 --> (8)/(10)

Obviously, then, 80 is greater than 8, so 8.0 is greater.
8.0 > 0.8
