Question

Which is greater 45/100 or 6/10? Please Answer :D?

Answer 1

In order to accurately answer any fraction, it is best to have a common denominator (bottom of the fraction)

Since in $\frac{45}{100}$, 100 is the denominator, you need to make the other fraction with the same denominator

So Multiply $\frac{6}{10}$ by <u />$\frac{10}{10}$

$\frac{6}{10} * \frac{10}{10} = \frac{60}{100}$

So $\frac{45}{100} < \frac{60}{100}$ or $\frac{45}{100} < \frac{6}{10}$

You can do this another way which involves the opposite way of multiplying which is by dividing

Since you have to get a common denominator to measure accurately no matter what, you can divide

One thing to know is that when dividing fractions, both the denominator and numerator have to be divided by a factor to be divided and result in a whole number

$\frac{45}{100}$÷$\frac{5}{5}$ = $\frac{9}{20}$

So just have to multiple $\frac{6}{10} by \frac{2}{2}$

$\frac{6}{10} * \frac{2}{2} = \frac{12}{20}$

$\frac{9}{20} < \frac{12}{20}$

$\frac{9}{20}$⇒$\frac{45}{100}$

$\frac{12}{20}$⇒$\frac{6}{10}$

The results are the same $\frac{45}{100} < \frac{6}{10}$

Again $\frac{6}{10}$ is greater than $\frac{45}{100}$
