Answer:

A. 11/20<4/7

Explanation:

To know which of the two fractions is larger (or if they are equal) we need to know their exact value, since in the form of a fraction it is not easy to see which is greater.

Making the divisions:


(11)/(20) =0.55

and


(4)/(7) =0.57

In this way we can see that the largest number is
(4)/(7)

Which is also represented by the symbol <as follows


(11)/(20) <
(4)/(7)

which is option A.
