Answer:

1/10

Explanation:

For a visual aid, you can think of this question in terms of pizzas. If we have four pizzas, the first sliced into only 2 pieces, the second in 5 pieces, the third in 7 pieces and the last one in 10 pieces. The pizza slices become smaller with more pieces.

You can also compare the fractions by looking at their decimal values.


(1)/(2) = 0.5 \\ (1)/(5) = 0.2 \\ (1)/(7) = 0.143 \\ (1)/(10) = 0.1
