Which number is greater between (0.05) and (0.005)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (0.05)

The direct answer is option D: 0.05 is greater. To compare decimals, first compare the whole-number parts; both are 0. Then compare tenths, hundredths, and thousandths from left to right. Add a zero at the end without changing a decimal's value: 0.05 = 0.050. Now compare 0.050 and 0.005. At the tenths place both have 0, but at the hundredths place 0.050 has 5 while 0.005 has 0, so 0.050 is larger. Option A, 0.005, is the smaller number, not the greater one. Option B, both equal, is wrong because their hundredths digits differ. Option C, cannot be compared, is wrong because all terminating decimals can be compared by lining up their places. Option D is correct. Remember: trailing zeros do not change value, but the position of a nonzero digit matters greatly.
