Answer:

13.261 < 13.265

Explanation:

In order to compare two numbers, you must look at each place value.

Start from the leftmost value (the tens place):

13.261 and 13.265

They are the same, so we move one place over.

13.261 and 13.265

Still the same, so we move on again

13.261 and 13.265

Still the same, repeat

13.261 and 13.265

Repeat

13.261 and 13.265

These are not the same, so now we compare 1 and 5.

On a number line, 1 is more left on the line than 5, so 1 < 5

Thus, 13.261 <13.265
