Question

Is 1/8 grader than or less than 2/5

Answer 1

$\large\text{Hey there!}$

$\mathsf{Is\ \dfrac{1}{8}\ greater\ than\ or\ less\ than\ \dfrac{2}{5}\ ?}$

$\large\text{Personally, if you convert your fractions into decimals it can be easier to}\\\large\text{to answer your question. Or you could even match it with the LCD}\\\large\text{if it is easier for you!}$

$\mathsf{\dfrac{1}{8}=0.125} \\\\\mathsf{\dfrac{2}{5}=0.40}$

$\large\text{The\ LCD (Lowest Common Denominator) is 40}$

$\mathsf{Match\ your\ fractions\ with\ your\ LCD}\\\\\boxed{\mathsf{\dfrac{1}{8}}}\boxed{\mathsf{\dfrac{2}{5}}}\\\boxed{\mathsf{\dfrac{5}{40}}}\boxed{\mathsf{\dfrac{16}{40}}}$

$\large\text{We compared }\mathsf{\dfrac{1}{8}\ \&\ \dfrac{5}{40}.}\large\text{ We also compared }\mathsf{\dfrac{2}{5} \ \& \ \dfrac{16}{40}}$

$\mathsf{Both\ \dfrac{2}{5} \& \ \dfrac{16}{40}\ are\ LESS/ SMALLER\ than\ \dfrac{1}{8} \ & \ \dfrac{5}{40}}$

$\boxed{\boxed{\large\text{Thus your answer is: \boxed{\mathsf{\dfrac{1}{8} \ is\ GREATER\ than\ \dfrac{2}{5}}}}}}}\huge\checkmark$

$\large\text{Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!}$
