Question

Is 4/10 equivalent to 1/4

Answer 1

The answer is NO

`(4)/(10)` is the same as
`(2*2)/(2*5)`

When the twos cancel out, you are left with
`(2)/(5)` which is not equal to
`(1)/(4)`

Answer 2

No, if you reduced 4/10 it would be 2/5, not 1/4. The the answer to your question is no.

Also 2/5 is equivalent to 0.4 and 1/4 is equivalent to 0.25.
