Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To compare which is greater, we will compare the numbers by adding 0 to 0.8 as follows:

0.80?0.08 0.80\text{?}0.08

Let's note that before the decimal point, we have 0 in both numbers

After the decimal point, we have 8 versus 0

Since 8 is greater than 0, the appropriate sign is:

0.80 > 0.08
