Let's solve each problem by comparing the two decimal numbers and writing the correct comparison symbol:
> (greater than),
< (less than), or
= (equal to).

Step-by-step Comparison:
1)
3.3 □ 0.33
→ 3.3 is greater than 0.33
✔ >
2)
4.96 □ 0.496
→ 4.96 is much larger than 0.496
✔ >
3)
7.31 □ 7.31
→ Both are the same
✔ =
4)
6.72 □ 6.69
→ Compare digit by digit: 6.72 vs 6.69 → tenths place: 7 > 6
✔ >
5)
9.06 □ 9.01
→ Tenths are same (0), hundredths: 6 > 1
✔ >
6)
4.28 □ 4.32
→ Tenths: 2 < 3 → so 4.28 < 4.32
✔ <
7)
5.26 □ 5.25
→ Tenths: 2 = 2, hundredths: 6 > 5
✔ >
8)
9.05 □ 9.1
→ 9.1 = 9.10 → compare: 9.05 vs 9.10 → 05 < 10
✔ <
9)
7.76 □ 7.79
→ Tenths: 7 = 7, hundredths: 6 < 9
✔ <
10)
2.53 □ 0.253
→ 2.53 is greater than 0.253 (whole number part: 2 > 0)
✔ >
11)
9.42 □ 0.942
→ 9.42 > 0.942 (since 9 > 0)
✔ >
12)
8.83 □ 8.84
→ Tenths: 8 = 8, hundredths: 3 < 4
✔ <
13)
7.11 □ 7.18
→ Tenths: 1 = 1, hundredths: 1 < 8
✔ <
14)
5.14 □ 0.514
→ 5.14 > 0.514 (5 > 0)
✔ >
15)
9.35 □ 9.36
→ Tenths: 3 = 3, hundredths: 5 < 6
✔ <
16)
0.72 □ 0.072
→ 0.72 = 0.720 → compare: 0.720 vs 0.072 → 720 > 72 → so 0.72 > 0.072
✔ >
17)
6.21 □ 0.621
→ 6.21 > 0.621 (6 > 0)
✔ >
18)
1.19 □ 1.21
→ Tenths: 1 = 1, hundredths: 9 < 1? No — wait: 9 < 1 is false. Actually, 9 < 1 is
false, but 9 < 1 is not true. Wait: 1.19 vs 1.21 → 1.19 < 1.21 because 19 < 21 in hundredths
✔ <
19)
9.39 □ 9.38
→ Tenths: 3 = 3, hundredths: 9 > 8
✔ >
20)
6.83 □ 0.683
→ 6.83 > 0.683 (6 > 0)
✔ >
