Hi Sara,

No, 0.188 is not larger than 0.053. In decimal notation, numbers are compared digit by digit, starting from the leftmost digit. In this case, comparing the tenths place, 0.188 is larger than 0.053 because 1 is greater than 0. However, when comparing the hundredths place, 0.053 is greater than 0.018. Therefore, overall, 0.053 is larger than 0.018. I hope this will help you.
