.5 is greater. Anything to the left of the decimal point is a whole number. Anything after is part of a number. A fraction can be used to show this.
I'll give an example to help you-
1.56
the 1 is in the ones spot. It is a whole number.
The 5 is in the tenths spot. If something was broken into ten peices, this would show 5 of those peices.
The 6 is in the hundredths spot. If something was broken into 100 peices, this would show 6 of them.
Don't you think that 5 out of ten is alot more than 6 out of 100? That is why anything in the tenths space is bigger than anything in the hundredths space.
So let's look at your original problem-
.09 or .5
Another way to look at it is like this -
0 or 5 which is bigger? 5.
All I did here was get rid of the decimal and pretend that the number before the decimal wasn't there, so it would look like this-
09 or 5
Next I got rid of any digits to the right of the longer number. Take off enough so that each
number has the same amount of digits. This would look like this-
0 or 5
which is bigger? 5
Then you know that the number 0.5 is bigger.
0.5
Hi.
It's 0.09.
Bye.

.009 is greater than .002
Yes, .04 is greater than .009
no
-9.999999999998899e-05
009 & 0.05 Since there is no decimal point for '009' , then drop the prefix zeroes to '9' & 0.05 Hence 9 > 0.05 However, if you mean 0.09 or 0.009 please ensure that you put in the decimal point. In both cases '0.09' & '0.009' there will be different answers. 0.09 > 0.05 & 0.009 < 0.05
009 (9) is greater than 005 (5) by 004 (4)
.009 is greater than .002
Yes, .04 is greater than .009
Yes
Just as 25 is greater than 5 (or 05) so 25% of a number is greater than 5% of that number.

9, 010, 000 comes one after 9, 009, 999.
05 is the same as 5 which is greater than 0.33
0.3 is greater than 0.09Alternatively written: 0.3 > 0.09Explanation: 0.3 can also be shown 0.30
