.17 is bigger. you can think about it like this; add a zero to .17(which is okay) since the other decimal number is three digits. Then you have .170 and .165. Which is bigger, 170 or 165? Hope that helped!

0.170
0.165
so yes, 0.17 is indeed larger than 0.165
when comparing decimals u can use zeroes as place holders.
