Answer:

42/100

Explanation:

Just looking at the fraction, you could guess that one of the fractions is larger. So my guess would be the first one, but I'm guessing which really is only a guess. I like to guess at things like this; it's a little like playing monopoly. Let's find out what the answer really is. So get out your calculator.

29/71: 29 ÷ 71 = 0.4085

42/100: 42/100 = 0.4200

Well if you guessed the second one you are a better guesser than I am

42/100 is larger that 29/71
