Answer:
4/ 5
is greater than
25 /40
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the least common denominator or LCM of the two denominators:
LCM of 5 and 40 is 40
For the 1st fraction, since 5 × 8 = 40,
4/ 5 = 4 × 8 5 × 8 = 32/ 40
Likewise, for the 2nd fraction, since 40 × 1 = 40,
25 /40 = 25 × 1 40 × 1 = 25/ 40
Since the denominators are now the same, the fraction with the bigger numerator is the greater fraction
32 /40 > 25 /40 or 4 /5 > 25 /40
Answer:
It is not true because if you multiply the denominator by 8, you will get 40 and if you also multiply the numerator by 8, you get 32 which is 32/40 which is not equal to 25/40.
