Or even simpler the half of 0.5 fits into 0.25. And we all know a half is 0.5

I was trying to think how to put that into words with an example like, "how many halves fit in 10? It's 20. So how many halves fit in a quarter? Only half of a half will fit, so 0.5" but I kept screwing up the wording in my head for halves and quarters until I read your reply, so thank you for helping with that clarification. I knew the math was right but couldn't put it into words the way I wanted.
