Question

Which is greater 45/100 or 6/10?
Please Answer :D?

Answer 1

In order to accurately answer any fraction, it is best to have a common denominator (bottom of the fraction)

Since in
`(45)/(100)`, 100 is the denominator, you need to make the other fraction with the same denominator

So Multiply
`(6)/(10)` by
`(10)/(10)`


`(6)/(10) * (10)/(10) = (60)/(100)`

So
`(45)/(100) < (60)/(100)` or
`(45)/(100) < (6)/(10)`

You can do this another way which involves the opposite way of multiplying which is by dividing

Since you have to get a common denominator to measure accurately no matter what, you can divide

One thing to know is that when dividing fractions, both the denominator and numerator have to be divided by a factor to be divided and result in a whole number


`(45)/(100)`÷
`(5)/(5)` =
`(9)/(20)`

So just have to multiple
`(6)/(10) by (2)/(2)`


`(6)/(10) * (2)/(2) = (12)/(20)`


`(9)/(20) < (12)/(20)`


`(9)/(20)`⇒
`(45)/(100)`


`(12)/(20)`⇒
`(6)/(10)`

The results are the same
`(45)/(100) < (6)/(10)`

Again
`(6)/(10)` is greater than
`(45)/(100)`
