To solve this problem you must first know the definition of the symbols greater than and less than. You must then use the numbers to create different possible amounts. You must figure out the place value of each number and know which symbol to use. For example 5.11 is less than 5.32 because decimal numbers are a fraction of a whole. the closer you are to 5.00 the closer you are to a whole number. 5.31 is greater than 5.21 because 5.31 represents 5 units, 3 tenths and 1 hundredth while 5.21 represents 5 units, 2 tenths and 1 hundredth.
