Question

Which is bigger 1/4 or 2/5

Answer 1

Heyo Kiddo. How are you doing today? Let's figure this out!

So, we should covert each fraction so that they have a common denominator.
Observe.


`(1)/(4) = (4)/(20)`

`(2)/(5) = (8)/(20)`

So which one is larger?
We can see that indefinitely 2/5 = 8/20 is the larger of the two fraction given.

You're welcome.

Answer 2

This is easier if we change these fractions into decimals

1/4 = 0.25

2/5 = 0.40

It is obvious from the decimals that 2/5 is bigger.

Good Luck! <3
