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

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

0.2=210 0.2=\frac{2}{10}

0.25 is divided by 100 because there are two digits after the decimal point, so:

0.25=25100 0.25=\frac{25}{100}

Let's compare the numbers in the denominator:

\frac{25}{100}>\frac{2}{10}

Therefore, the larger number is 0.25
