Step-by-Step Solution

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

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

0.68=68100 0.68=\frac{68}{100}

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

0.88=88100 0.88=\frac{88}{100}

Now let's compare the numbers in the numerator:

\frac{88}{100}>\frac{68}{100}

Therefore, the larger number is 0.88.
