$0.89 > 0.884$

Write them with the same number of decimal places to make the comparison easier.

$0.89" " =0.8color(blue)(9)0$
$0.884" "=0.8color(blue)(8)4$

Now compare each decimal places:

First d.p.: tenths: they are equal
Second d.p.: hundredths $9>8$

Therefore the top number is bigger.

You can also compare the number of thousandths:

$890/1000 > 884/1000$ because $890 >884$
