.035
.35
3.5
35.1

Explanation:

Look at where the decimal place is. In this particular situation, that is enough to let you know which is larger or smaller. As it is placed more to the right, the number get larger. As the decimal place goes to the left, the number gets smaller.

This is a general rule, because if there is .935 and .83, .83 would be smaller.
