American photographer Edward Steichen purchased the sculpture Bird in Space while in Paris, France. What occurred when he tried to turn to the United States with the sculpture?

Answer 2

It helps to find a common denominator:
2/5 x 2/2 = 4/10
1/2 x 5/5 = 5/10

2/5 = 4/10
1/2 = 5/10

From this, we can see that 2/5 is less than 1/2.


2/5 < 1/2
