Question

Which is greater: 6/30 or 12/40

Answer 1

Answer:
`(12)/(40)`

Explanation:

Hey there!

-If we were to simplify
`(6)/(30)` we would be able to simplify it to
`(1)/(5)`.

-Multiply
`(6)/(30)` by 100 and you get 20 .

-Now compare that with
`(3)/(10)` which is
`(12)/(40)` simplified.

-Multiply
`(12)/(40)` by 100 and you get 30.

-We can now tell that
`(12)/(40)` is greater than
`(6)/(30)`.

Answer 2

12/40

Explanation:

match the denominators so have 6/30 be multiplies with 40/40 and 12/40 multiplied with 30/30

6/30(40/40) = 240/1200

12/40(30/30) = 360/1200

As we can see, 360/1200 is bigger than 240/1200, therefore 12/40 is bigger
