Asked by jaymi

Answer (2)

No, 0.00001 is smaller than 0.001 as the digit 1 is in a lower place value

0.00001 is smaller than 0.001. This is determined by comparing the place values of each number, where 0.001 has a '1' in the thousandths place while 0.00001 has a '1' in the ten-thousandths place. Therefore, in terms of value, 0.001 is greater than 0.00001.
