Answer 1

⭐ Question :-

smallest of the fraction 1/2,1/3,1/4,1/5.

⭐ Solution :-

There are 2 ways to solve this question.

★ Method 1 :-

Just look at the denominator of the fraction. The largest the denominator the smallest the fraction.

Now you will be thinking how? So just look below and understand this method. It's simple and easy.

Given fractions : 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5.

Now, we will devide the numerator by the denominator. So let's start.

⇒1/2 = 1÷2 = 0.50

⇒1/3 = 1÷3 = 0.30

⇒1/4 = 1÷4 = 0.25

⇒1/5 = 1÷5 = 0.20

Look carefully, if we see normally 1/5 looks the biggest but it's incorrect. Devide 1 by 5 then we get 0.2 which is much more smaller than 1/2 ( 0.5 )

So, your answer is 1/5 .

★ Method 2 :-

In this method we will devide the numerator by the denominator.

⇒1/2 = 1÷2 = 0.50

⇒1/3 = 1÷3 = 0.30

⇒1/4 = 1÷4 = 0.25

⇒1/5 = 1÷5 = 0.20

Therefore, your answer is 1/5.
