Greater. The place value is to the right more then the other number making it greater.

To clarify 6.24 is bigger then .624

For example lets say you had 6.00 Apples. Thats 6 whole apples!

Then let's say you had 0.600 Apples. Thats only half an apple!

So 6.00 Apples would be more. Thats why 6.24 is bigger.

Answer:

6.24 is greater than .624

Explanation:

If you put them in a fraction, it would be 6 24/100 and 624/1000.

As you can see, 6.24 has a whole number while .624 doesn't therefore, 6.24 is greater than .624.

Hope this helps?
