Question

Is 21/36 greater less than or equal too 4/50

Answer 1

`\frac{7}{12\text{ }}\text{ > }(2)/(25)`

Explanation

Given information

We are given two fractions which are 21/36 and 4/50

The next step is to reduce the fraction to the lowest

`\begin{gathered} \frac{21}{36\text{ }}\text{ and }(4)/(50) \\ \end{gathered}`
`\begin{gathered} (21)/(36) \\ 3\text{ is a multiple both 21 and 36} \\ \frac{\cancel{21}}{\cancel{36}}\text{ = }(7)/(12) \\ \\ (4)/(50) \\ \text{ 2 is a multiple of 4 and 50} \\ \frac{\cancel{4}}{\cancel{50}}=\text{ }(2)/(25) \\ \\ \text{Therefore, } \\ (7)/(12)\text{ > }(2)/(25) \end{gathered}`
