Which of the two is larger?

In figures, they are written this way:

Fifty five thousandths - 0.055 (equals to 55/1000 or jus 5.5%)

Fifty five hundredths - 0.55 (equals to 55/100 or 55%)

Therefore, Fifty five hundredths is bigger.

Fifty-five thousandths is fifty-five thousand little parts of something.

Fifty-five hundredths is fifty-five hundred little parts of something.

If you divide a cake into a thousand little parts, there's gonna be more slices, but each of them are gonna be smaller than if you divide it into a hundred parts.

Therefore, if you divide something into hundredths, there'll be less slices but each of them will be bigger :)

55 thousandths is 1/55,000. 55 hundredths is 1/5500. So if you divide 1 by 5500 obviously it is bigger than 1/55000.

55,000 write them down in figures to help work them out

fifty five thousand 55,000

fifty five hundredths 5,500

:-)

fifty-five hundreths. Shut and let me go is a moron do not listen to him/her
