Answer:

1/4 is greater than 1/10 and the answer to the question "Is 1/4 greater than 1/10?" is yes

Explanation:

Is 1/4 greater than 1/10? Is 1/4 bigger than 1/10? Is 1/4 larger than 1/10? These are all the same questions with one answer.

To get the answer, we first convert each fraction into decimal numbers. We do this by dividing the numerator by the denominator for each fraction as illustrated below:

1/4 = 0.25

1/10 = 0.1

Then, we compare the two decimal numbers to get the answer.

0.25 is greater than 0.1.

Therefore,1/4 is greater than 1/10 and the answer to the question "Is 1/4 greater than 1/10?" is yes

Which means that this equation is also true: 1/4 > 1/10

Note: When comparing fractions such as 1/4 and 1/10, you could also convert the fractions (if necessary) so they have the same denominator and then compare which numerator is larger.

Answer: 1/4 because if you have 1 pie cut into 4 pieces, each piece is going to be way bigger than if you cut a pie into 10 pieces, and took one of those pieces.
