Answer: 0.009 < 0.62
Convert both decimals to a fraction.
0.009 = 9/1000
0.62 = 62/100
So which one is greater we ask?
Compare the fractions!
9/1000 ____ 62/100
9/1000 < 62/100
Think of it as...
If you had a pizza with 1000 slices and only 9 people got some there is going to be a huge leftover/extra.
If you had a pizza with 100 slices and only 62 people got some you will have a smaller amount of leftover/extra.
So therefore 0.009 < 0.62
