Compare Decimals: Determining the Relationship Between 0.3 and 0.03

Question

Determine the appropriate sign according to the number line:

$0.3?0.03$

00:00 Set the appropriate sign

00:04 We'll use the number line to find the 2 numbers

00:09 If the number is to the left of the second number then it's smaller, and to the right it's larger

00:13 We'll identify the position of our number in relation to the second number

00:18 And this is the solution to the question

Let's look at the number 0.03

This number is located on the number line between 0 and 0.1

In other words, the numbers in this range are:

$0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04, 0.05, 0.06, 0.07, 0.08, 0.09$

Therefore, the larger one is 0.3

$0.3 > 0.03$
