Explain why 1/2 is not equivalent to 2/5.

Sagot :

Find ing the common denominator would make it 10.
for 1/2 to get to 10 you have to multiply by 5
1/2x5= 5/10
then you have to convert 2/5 to get the denominator to be 10
so you multiply 2/5 by 2
2/5x2= 4/10
5/10 is greater than 4/10
1/2 = 50%
2/5 = 40%
50% is more than 40%
