Explanation:

1. Compare \( 0.5 \) and \( 0.4 \)

Step1: Compare tenths place

\( 0.5 \) has \( 5 \) in tenths place, \( 0.4 \) has \( 4 \) in tenths place. Since \( 5>4 \), \( 0.5 > 0.4 \).

Step1: Compare tenths place

\( 2.116 \) has \( 1 \) in tenths place, \( 2.224 \) has \( 2 \) in tenths place. Since \( 1<2 \), \( 2.116 < 2.224 \).

Step1: Compare hundredths place (tenths place same)

\( 5.716 \) has \( 1 \) in hundredths place, \( 5.704 \) has \( 0 \) in hundredths place. Since \( 1>0 \), \( 5.716 > 5.704 \).

Answer:

\( > \)

2. Compare \( 2.116 \) and \( 2.224 \)
