Comparing Decimal Numbers: Finding the Larger Value

Which decimal number is greater?

Let's convert the decimal numbers into simple fractions and compare them:

0.15 is divided by 100 because there are two digits after the decimal point, therefore:

$0.15=\frac{15}{100}$

0.2 is divided by 10 because there is only one digit after the decimal point, therefore.:

$0.2=\frac{2}{10}$

Let's finally compare the numbers in the denominator to determine our answer:

$\frac{15}{100}>\frac{2}{10}$

Therefore, the larger number is 0.15.
