Is .0382 greater than .30

NO!!!!

To compare any decimals

Bring both decimals to the same number of decimal places by adding suffix zeroes.

Hence

0.0382 & 0.3

Becomes

0.0382 & 0.3000 ( 4.d.p.)

Drop the decimal point

Hence

00382 & 03000

Drop the prefix 'zeroes'

Hence

382 & 3000

#I think you will agree that 3000 > 382

Hence it follows that 0.0382 < 0.3

NB This method is good for comparing any pairs of decimals.
