Question

determine which of the following of the two rational numbers is greater in each case 1 upon 2 of 4 upon 5​

Answer 1

Answer:

4/5 is greater

Step-by-step explanation:

To compare numbers, their denominators must be equal.

To make the denominators of the given fractions, we have to multiply them with such a number that we get the LCM of 2 and 5 at the denominator.2x5=10

1/2 x 5/5 = 5/10

4/5 x 2/2 = 8/10

5 ∠8

therefore 5/10∠8/10

therefore 1/2 is smaller than 4/5

i.e. 4/5 is greater.
