Answer 1

$\huge\underline{\overline{\mid{\bold{\red{Answer}}\mid}}}$

$\large \sf \: \frac{1}{2} \: and \: \frac{1} {5}$

Take L.C.M. to make the denominators same.

L.C.M. of 2 and 5=2×5=10

$\sf \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{5}{5} = \frac{5}{10}$

$\sf \frac{1}{5} \times \frac{2}{2} = \frac{2}{10}$

$\frac{5}{10} > \frac{2}{10}$

$\sf \: So, \: \frac{1}{2} \: is \: greater \: than \: \frac{1}{5}$
