Question

Is 0.17 m bigger than 0.165 m

Answer 1

Think of 0.17 as 0.170

We have the two values 0.170 and 0.165

Move the decimal point three spots to the right to have...
0.170 change into 170
0.165 change into 165

So this helps show 0.170 is larger (since 170 is larger)

To answer your question, yes 0.17 meters is larger than 0.165 meters

Answer 2

I believe it isn't. Think of it this way. Is 165 bigger then 17? Yes. So the same is for decimals.
