which is more 1/4 or 0.4

Sagot :

1/4 is 25%
and 0.4 is 40%
Therefore, 0.4 is greater.

we have

[tex]\frac{1}{4} \\ \\0.4[/tex]

we know that

[tex]0.4=\frac{4}{10}[/tex]

Multiply by [tex]\frac{2}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{4}{10}*\frac{2}{2}=\frac{8}{20}[/tex]

Multiply the number [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] by [tex]\frac{5}{5}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{4}*\frac{5}{5}=\frac{5}{20}[/tex]

I proceed to compare both numbers with the same denominator.

so

[tex]\frac{8}{20} > \frac{5}{20}[/tex]

therefore

the answer is

[tex]0.4 > \frac{1}{4}[/tex]
