C.Matt is correct because 40 is greater than 4.

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

If you simplify 40/100, you should get 4/10, which is still the same amount that Mark has.

You simplify by finding the greatest common factor between 40 and 100. In this case, it is 10. So you divide 40 by 10 and 100 by 10 to simplify.
