Let’s go through each pair of decimals and compare them step by step. We’ll look at the whole number part first, then the tenths, hundredths, thousandths — whatever we need to find which is bigger or if they’re equal.

Row 1:
-
4.2 vs 3.9 → 4 > 3 → so
4.2 > 3.9
-
0.04 vs 0.8 → both have 0 in ones place. Tenths: 0 vs 8 → 0 < 8 → so
0.04 < 0.8
-
0.17 vs 0.9 → ones: 0=0. Tenths: 1 vs 9 → 1 < 9 → so
0.17 < 0.9
---
Row 2:
-
6.72 vs 6.69 → ones: 6=6. Tenths: 7 > 6 → so
6.72 > 6.69
-
1.19 vs 1.21 → ones: 1=1. Tenths: 1 < 2 → so
1.19 < 1.21
-
2.22 vs 2.02 → ones: 2=2. Tenths: 2 > 0 → so
2.22 > 2.02
---
Row 3:
-
3.67 vs 3.68 → ones: 3=3. Tenths: 6=6. Hundredths: 7 < 8 → so
3.67 < 3.68
-
9.99 vs 9.99 → all digits same → so
9.99 = 9.99
-
0.02 vs 0.20 → ones: 0=0. Tenths: 0 < 2 → so
0.02 < 0.20
---
Row 4:
-
8.21 vs 0.821 → ones: 8 > 0 → so
8.21 > 0.821
-
4.4 vs 0.44 → ones: 4 > 0 → so
4.4 > 0.44
-
8.39 vs 8.31 → ones: 8=8. Tenths: 3=3. Hundredths: 9 > 1 → so
8.39 > 8.31
---
Row 5:
-
15.66 vs 14.97 → ones: 15 > 14 → so
15.66 > 14.97
-
7.1 vs 75.1 → ones: 7 < 75 → so
7.1 < 75.1
-
0.3 vs 0.39 → ones: 0=0. Tenths: 3=3. Hundredths: 0 < 9 → so
0.3 < 0.39
---
Row 6:
-
6.389 vs 6.379 → ones: 6=6. Tenths: 3=3. Hundredths: 8 > 7 → so
6.389 > 6.379
-
9.576 vs 9.50 → ones: 9=9. Tenths: 5=5. Hundredths: 7 > 0 → so
9.576 > 9.50
-
8.476 vs 8.806 → ones: 8=8. Tenths: 4 < 8 → so
8.476 < 8.806
---
Row 7:
-
6.66 vs 66.6 → ones: 6 < 66 → so
6.66 < 66.6
-
0.05 vs 0.005 → ones: 0=0. Tenths: 0=0. Hundredths: 5 > 0 → so
0.05 > 0.005
-
0.001 vs 0.02 → ones: 0=0. Tenths: 0=0. Hundredths: 0 < 2 → so
0.001 < 0.02
