Answer: 14/25 = 56/100

11/20 = 55/100

14/25 > 11/20

Explanation:

The least common multiple of 20 and 25 is 100.

(100 = 20*5, 25*4)

So we can take the common denominator 100.

14*4/25*4 =56/100. ∴14/25 = 56/100

11*5/20*5 =55/100. ∴11/20 = 55/100

56>55

∴56/100 > 55/100

∴14/25 > 11/20

Hope it's good;)
