Answer: it is smaller

Explanation:

In order to compare number write them in the same format.

If you are comparing decimals, write them with the same number of decimal places.

0.6

=

0.60

this can be read as

60

100

,

(60 hundredths)

0.58

this can be read as

58

100

(58 hundredths)

60

of anything is obviously more than

58

of them.

As a check you can subtract the two numbers.

A bigger number subtract a smaller number will give a positive.

A smaller number subtract a bigger number will give a negative.
