Try this:

When you subtract a smaller number from a larger you get a positive number. If you subtract a larger number from a smaller number, you get a negative number.

So as ThePerfectHacker suggested:
0.675 - 0.600 = 0.075
which is positive.

Thus
0.675 > 0.600

Thank you, ThePerfectHacker, for explaining! Got confused there for awhile.
