3/10 is bigger. To find this answer, you can change 1/5 so it has a common denominator with 3/10, and you will see that it is equal to 2/10. Another way to solve this would be to change the fraction into decimals. 1/5 is equal to .2 and 3/10 is equal to .3, so it is the greater number.

1/5 = 0.2
3/10 = 0.3

Therefore 1/5 < 3/10.
Just convert them to decimals or make the denominator of 1/5 to 10 ie:
2/10

Hope I helped!
