Answer 2

Answer:No the fraction 1/5 is not equal to 1 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Clearly to compare two unlike fractions we need to bring them into the form of like fractions i.e., both the fractions should have the same denominator.

1/5 and 1

LCM of denominators=5

1/5 __ 1/1

1/5 __ 5/5 ( 1/1=5/5 by multiplying both numerator and denominator by 5 )

Now looking at the numerators we can determine which fraction is greater .

Clearly, 5>1,

Therefore 1 is not equal to 1/5 rather 1 is greater than 1/5
