Question

I need help with this question.

Answer 1

1/4 x 5 = 5/20
2/5 x 4 = 8/20
So 1/4 <2/5
2/5 is greater than 1/4

Answer 2

Explanation:

`(1)/(4) = (1 * 5)/(4 * 5) = (5)/(20) \\ \\ (2)/(5) = (2* 4)/(5 * 4) = (8)/(20) \\ \\ \because \: 5 < 8 \\ \therefore \: (5)/(20) < (8)/(20) \\ \\ \huge \red{ \boxed{\therefore \: (1)/(4) < (2)/(5)}}`
