Comparing Decimals: Which Number is Larger?

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

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

$0.3=\frac{3}{10}$

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

$0.29=\frac{29}{100}$

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

\frac{29}{100}>\frac{3}{10}

Therefore, the larger number is 0.29.
