If there are two decimal numbers we can compare them. One number is either
greater than, less than or equal to the other number.
A decimal number is just a fractional number. Comparing 0.7 and 0.07 is clearer
if we compared 7/10 to 7/100. The fraction 7/10 is equivalent to 70/100 which is
clearly larger than 7/100.
Therefore, when decimals are compared start with tenths place and then hundredths place, etc.
If one decimal has a higher number in the tenths place then it is larger
than a decimal with fewer tenths. If the tenths are equal compare the
hundredths, then the thousandths etc. until one decimal is larger or there are no
more places to compare. If each decimal place value is the same then the decimals are
equal.
