Question

is 3 :10 greater or 1 : 4​

Answer 1

Answer:

1 : 4​ is smaller than 3 : 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the least common denominator or LCM of the two denominators:

LCM of 4 and 10 is 20

For the 1st fraction, since 4 × 5 = 20,

1 /4  =  1 × 5 /4 × 5  =  5/ 20

Likewise, for the 2nd fraction, since 10 × 2 = 20,

3 /10  =  3 × 2 /10 × 2  =  6 /20

Since the denominators are now the same, the fraction with the bigger numerator is the greater fraction

5 /20 <  6/ 20  or  1/ 4  <  3/ 10

Answer 2

Answer:

3:10 is greater

Step-by-step explanation:

if you take the value of x as 2 then 3:10 would be 6 , 20 where as 1 : 4 would be 2 , 8, there for 6 , 20 is greater
