A long piece has 10 cubes. It shows 10 hundredths, which is the same as 1 tenth.

The blocks show 6 tenths and 6 hundredths. They show 0.66.

0.66

So, it takes 66 cubes to show 0.66.

Look for numbers that are greater than 0.66. They will use more than 66 cubes.

These blocks show 0.22. There are 2 tenths and 2 hundredths.

There are only 22 cubes, so 0.22 is not greater than 0.66.

These blocks show 0.85. There are 8 tenths and 5 hundredths.

0.85

There are 85 cubes in all, so 0.85 is greater than 0.66.

These blocks show 0.68. There are 6 tenths and 8 hundredths.
