3/7 = 42,9%, 20% of 2 = 10% this means 42,9% - 10% = 32,9% larger! :)

Answer:

0.03

Explanation:

First you should find what is 20% of 2

This can be written as ;


=(20)/(100) *2=(40)/(100)\\ \\\\=(40)/(100) =0.4

Let now find 3/7


(3)/(7) =0.4285\\\\\\=0.43

Get the difference in the values


0.43-0.40=0.03\\\\\\

You can see 3/7 is 0.03 larger than 20% of 2.
