Question

Compare: 0.008 O 0.08A.>B.

Answer 1

We have the next two numbers

`0.008\text{ and }0.08`

To compare two decimal numbers we need to know that the smaller number will be

1. The one with the smallest integer

2. If the numbers have the same integer part, the one with the smallest decimal part.

In this case, the numbers have the same integer part, so we must compare their decimal parts.

To compare the decimal parts we need to take the numbers after the decimal point

`008\text{ and }08`

Then, We must add 0 to the right of the number with the least amount of digits until the 2 numbers have the same amount

So, we would have

`008\text{ and }080`

Now, we can see that 8 < 80. Then,

`0.008<0.08`
