Question

Which is greater 1/2 or 1/4 ??

Answer 1

As per the data given in the question,

We have to determine that,

Which of the given value is greater.

As per question,

It is given that,

$\frac{1}{2}\:and\:\frac{1}{4}$

As, we have to decide that either $\frac{1}{2}$ is greater or $\frac{1}{4}$ is greater.

So, determine that which one is greater we will convert both the given fraction in decimal form,

So, decimal expansion of the given fractions are,

$\frac{1}{2} = 0.5\\\frac{1}{4} = 0.25$

As we know that,

0.5 is double of 0.25,

So, 0.5 will be greater than 0.25.

Hence, we can conclude that,

$\frac{1}{2}$ will be greater than $\frac{1}{4}$.

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{1}{2}$  is greater.

Step-by-step explanation:

In fraction in which  the highest number is present value in denominator is lowest value. And the fraction which is having denominator as lowest value  that fraction is largest.

In these there are two fraction one is  $\frac{1}{2}$ and $\frac{1}{4}$ second is  

Here 4 is the biggest number in denominator.

So,  $\frac{1}{4}$ is smallest fraction

$\frac{1}{2}$  is greater.
