Practice makes perfect
When comparing numbers, it is best to first ensure that they are as similar as possible. We are given two numbers with decimals]. 16.5 16.52 We can graph them on a number line to compare which one is greater than the other.

On the number line, we can see that 16.5 is to the left of 16.52. This means that 16.5 is less than 16.52. 16.5 < 16.52

When comparing numbers, it is best to first ensure that they are as similar as possible. We are given two numbers with decimals. 4.110 4.10 We can graph them on a number line to compare which one is greater than the other. Remember that 4.10 is the same as 4.100.

On the number line, we can see that 4.110 is to the right of 4.100. This means that 4.110 is greater than 4.10. 4.110 > 4.10

When comparing numbers, it is best to first ensure that they are as similar as possible. We are given two numbers with decimals. 5.963 5.9 We can graph them on a number line to compare which one is greater than the other. Remember that 5.9 is the same as 5.90.

On the number line, we can see that 5.963 is to the right of 5.90. This means that 5.963 is greater than 5.9. 5.963 > 5.9

We want to write 4.110 and 4.10 in words. The first step is write the whole number part the word and for the decimal point. In our case, the whole number is 4. 4.110 = Four and... Now, we are going to write the decimal part as if it were a whole number. 4.110 = Four and one hundred ten... Finally, we will write the place value of the last digit. Let's use a place value chart to find the place value of the last digit!

Place value chart

The place value of the last digit is thousandths, so we can complete the word form of 4.110 by adding the word thousandths. 4.110 = Four and one hundred ten thousandths Now, we will write 4.10 in words by following the same procedure as we did for 4.110. 4.10 = Four and ten hundredths
