ANSWER

1480.8 is greater than 15.1

Step-by-step explanation

We want to find which number is greater between 15.1 and 1480.8

We see that the highest place value in the number 15.1 is Tens, i.e.:

T U Tnth

1 5 . 1

While in 1480.8, the highest place value is Thousands, i.e.:

T H T U Tnth

1 4 8 0 . 8

Since Thousands is greater than Tens, we see that 1480.8 is greater than 15.1
