1/4 is 25%
and 0.4 is 40%
Therefore, 0.4 is greater.

we have


(1)/(4) \\ \\0.4

we know that


0.4=(4)/(10)

Multiply by
(2)/(2)


(4)/(10)*(2)/(2)=(8)/(20)

Multiply the number
(1)/(4) by
(5)/(5)


(1)/(4)*(5)/(5)=(5)/(20)

I proceed to compare both numbers with the same denominator.

so


(8)/(20) > (5)/(20)

therefore

the answer is


0.4 > (1)/(4)
