Answer:

<

<

>

Explanation:

the closed point of the < > symbol should point to the smallest number

Decimal points work in a way that means if a decimal is 0.2 is larger than 0.19

this is because the further away from the decimal point the smaller the unit is

so the 2 in 0.2 is 2 tenths

so in your question

0.15 is one tenth and 5 hundredths

its like 15 the digit further to the right is larger and you can add as many zeros after and it will have the same value

while 0.8 is 8 tenths and 0 hundredths

so its like 80 is larger than 15

if you need help with the rest let me know but this should help enough to figure out the rest

top answer is <

second is <

last is >

a hundredth is 10 times smaller than a tenth and a thousandth is 10 times smaller than a hundredth
