Answer:

No, Lance's thinking is wrong because you cannot compare decimal numbers with alphabetizing words. For example, if we compare 37.6 to 7.42 using the method of Lance, we would probably say 37.6 is less than 7.42 because 3 is less than 7. But it is wrong. The 3 in 37.6 is in the tens place. On the other hand, 7.42 contains no tense. Therefore, 37.6 is actually higher.

Step-by-step explanation:
