b. <
c. =

Answer 1

a. > because 1/2 is more than 2/5

1/2 = 0.5
2/5 = 0.4

Answer 2

Option a. >

Explanation:

Given : Statement
`(1)/(2) ? (2)/(5)`

To find : Insert the sign to make the statment true?

Solution:

We know,

The value
`(1)/(2)` and
`(2)/(5)` are not equal.

So, No equality sign.

Now,
`(1)/(2)=0.5`

`(2)/(5)=0.4`

And
`0.5>0.4`

which means
`(1)/(2)>(2)/(5)`

Therefore, Option a is correct.
