Question

Is 6/16 greater or less than 4/10

Answer 1

Less than 4/10

Explanation:

First lets convert both fractions to a common denominator:

16 and 10 can both go into 80 equally.

Now lets convert the fractions so they have a denominator of 80:

(6/16) *5 = 30/80

(4/10) *8 = 32/80

we can multiply the fractions to get just the numerator (*80)

Now compare 30 to 32. As you can see 32 is greater meaning that 6/16 is less that 4/10.
