         2.15                        2.15                   2.15

                                                     5<7
           ones                    tenths

                          So, 2.15 < 2.17

You can use place value charts to compare decimals.

Compare ones: 0 ones = 0 ones             Compare ones: 0 ones = 0 ones
Compare tenths: 3 tenths < 5 tenths       Compare tenths:
So, 0.36 < 0.56                           6 tenths > 0 tenths
                                          So, 0.60 > 0.06
