Answer:

since the eight in the second number is to the right of the decimal, and there id no other number on the left, the second number isn't even a whole number. It is four fifths of a whole. while the eight in the first number is to the left of the decimal it is a whole number eight times. like, which is more eight cookies or a part of one cookie.
