Question

Is 4/7 bigger or smaller than 3/5

Answer 1

4/7=.57

3/5=.6

.6 is bigger than .57 so 4/7 is smaller than 3/5

Answer 2

$\frac{4}{7}=\frac{4 \times 5}{7 \times 5}=\frac{20}{35} \\ \frac{3}{5}=\frac{3 \times 7}{5 \times 7}=\frac{21}{35} \\ \\ \frac{20}{35} < \frac{21}{35} \\ \Downarrow \\ \frac{4}{7} < \frac{3}{5}$

4/7 is smaller than 3/5.
