What ND has said is true......the first number has more zeroes between the decimal point and the first significant digit than the second one does.

Of course there is another way to determine which is larger.....just subtract one from another......if the result is positive, the subtracted number is the smaller. If the result is negative, the subtracted number is larger.

Yes.

If you were to look at these numbers on a number line, the first number would be farther to the left than the second. This is because the first number has more zeros after the decimal point.
