$1.23$ is larger than $1.2$ .

Explanation:

You see, however many zeroes you add to a number after the decimal, the number is still the number.

$1.20$ is the same as $1.2$

$1.2000....$ is the same as $1.2$

![https://useruploads.socratic.org/aUbq90fjSvGBVhfG6uTA_decimal_places.jpg)

You see, for a proper comparison that is easy to compare by just looking at, we just add one zero to $1.2$ .

So then there are two decimal places for both of the numbers. The second decimal place is the hundreds place.

$1.20$
$1.23$

$20$ is less than $23$ . Therefore, $1.23$ is greater than $1.2$ !

$1.23>1.2$

I hope you understand! :D
