Step-by-step solution

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

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

0.33=33100 0.33=\frac{33}{100}

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

0.34=34100 0.34=\frac{34}{100}

Then we can compare the numbers in the numerator:

34100>33100 \frac{34}{100}>\frac{33}{100}

Therefore, the larger number is 0.34.
