Answer: Greater than sign

In other words, 11.01 > 11.001

========================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

For each given number, move the decimal point 3 spots to the right.

The value 11.01 becomes 11010

The value 11.001 becomes 11001

Since 11010 > 11001, this means 11.01 > 11.001

---------------

As an alternative method, you can subtract the values to see which is larger

The rule or idea is that

  • (large) - (small) = positive
  • (small) - (large) = negative

For example, 5-2 = 3 showing that 5 is larger than 2. As another example, 7-9 = -2 meaning 7 is smaller than 9. The order of subtraction matters.

In this case, 11.01 - 11.001 = 0.009 showing that 11.01 is larger than 11.001
