Answer:

Explanation:

0.28 is roughly the same as 0.280, which has 3 significant digits (same as 0.205 has 3 significant digits). It's easier when we compare numbers having the same number of decimal places.

Comparing 0.280 to 0.205, we see that the hundredths place of 0.280 (which is 8) is greater than the hundredths place of 0.205 (which is 0). Thus 0.28 is greateer than 0.205.
