To solve the problem of comparing decimals and choosing the correct sign (`>`, `<`, or `=`), we need to compare each pair of numbers step by step. Here's the detailed solution:

Step-by-Step Solution:

#### Row 1:
1. 4.2 □ 3.9
- Compare the whole numbers first: 4 > 3.
- Therefore, \( 4.2 > 3.9 \).

2. 0.04 □ 0.8
- Compare the tenths place: 0 < 8.
- Therefore, \( 0.04 < 0.8 \).

3. 0.17 □ 0.9
- Compare the tenths place: 1 < 9.
- Therefore, \( 0.17 < 0.9 \).

#### Row 2:
4. 6.72 □ 6.69
- Compare the whole numbers: 6 = 6.
- Compare the tenths place: 7 > 6.
- Therefore, \( 6.72 > 6.69 \).

5. 1.19 □ 1.21
- Compare the whole numbers: 1 = 1.
- Compare the tenths place: 1 < 2.
- Therefore, \( 1.19 < 1.21 \).

6. 2.22 □ 2.02
- Compare the whole numbers: 2 = 2.
- Compare the tenths place: 2 > 0.
- Therefore, \( 2.22 > 2.02 \).

#### Row 3:
7. 3.67 □ 3.68
- Compare the whole numbers: 3 = 3.
- Compare the tenths place: 6 = 6.
- Compare the hundredths place: 7 < 8.
- Therefore, \( 3.67 < 3.68 \).

8. 9.99 □ 9.99
- Compare the whole numbers: 9 = 9.
- Compare the tenths place: 9 = 9.
- Compare the hundredths place: 9 = 9.
- Therefore, \( 9.99 = 9.99 \).

9. 0.02 □ 0.20
- Compare the tenths place: 0 < 2.
- Therefore, \( 0.02 < 0.20 \).

#### Row 4:
10. 8.21 □ 0.821
- Compare the whole numbers: 8 > 0.
- Therefore, \( 8.21 > 0.821 \).

11. 4.4 □ 0.44
- Compare the whole numbers: 4 > 0.
- Therefore, \( 4.4 > 0.44 \).

12. 8.39 □ 8.31
- Compare the whole numbers: 8 = 8.
- Compare the tenths place: 3 = 3.
- Compare the hundredths place: 9 > 1.
- Therefore, \( 8.39 > 8.31 \).

#### Row 5:
13. 15.66 □ 14.97
- Compare the whole numbers: 15 > 14.
- Therefore, \( 15.66 > 14.97 \).

14. 7.1 □ 75.1
- Compare the whole numbers: 7 < 75.
- Therefore, \( 7.1 < 75.1 \).

15. 0.3 □ 0.39
- Compare the tenths place: 3 = 3.
- Compare the hundredths place: 0 < 9.
- Therefore, \( 0.3 < 0.39 \).

#### Row 6:
16. 6.389 □ 6.379
- Compare the whole numbers: 6 = 6.
- Compare the tenths place: 3 = 3.
- Compare the hundredths place: 8 > 7.
- Therefore, \( 6.389 > 6.379 \).

17. 9.576 □ 9.50
- Compare the whole numbers: 9 = 9.
- Compare the tenths place: 5 = 5.
- Compare the hundredths place: 7 > 0.
- Therefore, \( 9.576 > 9.50 \).

18. 8.476 □ 8.806
- Compare the whole numbers: 8 = 8.
- Compare the tenths place: 4 < 8.
- Therefore, \( 8.476 < 8.806 \).

#### Row 7:
19. 6.66 □ 66.6
- Compare the whole numbers: 6 < 66.
- Therefore, \( 6.66 < 66.6 \).

20. 0.05 □ 0.005
- Compare the tenths place: 0 = 0.
- Compare the hundredths place: 5 > 0.
- Therefore, \( 0.05 > 0.005 \).

21. 0.001 □ 0.02
- Compare the tenths place: 0 = 0.
- Compare the hundredths place: 0 < 2.
- Therefore, \( 0.001 < 0.02 \).

Final Answer:

\[
\boxed{
\begin{array}{ccc}
4.2 > 3.9 & 0.04 < 0.8 & 0.17 < 0.9 \\
6.72 > 6.69 & 1.19 < 1.21 & 2.22 > 2.02 \\
3.67 < 3.68 & 9.99 = 9.99 & 0.02 < 0.20 \\
8.21 > 0.821 & 4.4 > 0.44 & 8.39 > 8.31 \\
15.66 > 14.97 & 7.1 < 75.1 & 0.3 < 0.39 \\
6.389 > 6.379 & 9.576 > 9.50 & 8.476 < 8.806 \\
6.66 < 66.6 & 0.05 > 0.005 & 0.001 < 0.02 \\
\end{array}
}
\]
