Hey there! We are given two decimal numbers to compare.

52.311 and 52.31

These two numbers are similar except that 52.311 has another 1 in while 51.31 doesn't.

Keep in mind that 52.31 can also refer to 52.310

So we are comparing 52.311 and 52.310

Since 1 is greater than 0.

52.311 is greater than 52.31 (52.311 > 52.31)

Let me know if you have any questions!

Step-by-step explanation:

So I will use an example to try and show you how to do this.

If we have $1/2 + 1/3$ , we know that we don't have like denominators. We can change this by finding one. All we need to do is multiply our denominators. So in our example, that would be $2*3=6$ . Our new denominator would be 6. So now we would have $1/6 + 1/6$ which isn't the same as our old equation. That is because we haven't multiplied our top numbers yet. To do this, we need to multiply the top number by the opposite denominator like so, $3/6+2/6$ .
