Answer is 48/12 is larger

Step by step

Both can be simplified through division

48/12 = 48 ÷ 12 = 4
10/5 = 10 ÷ 5 = 2

So 48/12 is larger

Answer: 48/12 is greater than 10/5

Step-by-step explanation:

1- make the two fraction have the same denominator so the 48/12 * 5 up and down and 10/5 *12 up and down

2- the first 240/60 and the second 120/60

3- 240/60 > 120/60 or 48/12 > 10/5
