It is not the same

Step-by-step explanation:

When comparing fractions such as 5/2 and 2/5, you could also convert the fractions (if necessary) so they have the same denominator and then compare which numerator is larger.        

  To get the answer, we first convert each fraction into decimal numbers. We do this by dividing the numerator by the denominator for each fraction as illustrated below: 5/2 = 2.5

2/5 = 0.4 Therefore, 5/2 is greater than 2/5 and the answer to the question "Is 5/2 greater than 2/5?" is yes.
