Answer:

To compare two fractions, we need to make sure that they have the same denominator. In this case, we can convert 1/5 to an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 100 by multiplying both the numerator and denominator by 20:

1/5 = (1/5) x (20/20) = 20/100

Now we can compare 21/100 and 20/100. Since the numerator of 21/100 is greater than the numerator of 20/100, we know that 21/100 is greater than 20/100 or 1/5. Therefore, 21/100 is indeed greater than 1/5.
