Question

Carlos says that if the numerators of two fractions are the same, you can compare the denominators to determine which

Answer 1

Answer:

Carlos is correct. If the numerators are the same, the fraction with the lesser denominator will be greater.

Step-by-step explanation:

I'll answer this question using the following illustration.

Let a fraction be:

$\frac{1}{2}$

and another fraction

$\frac{1}{4}$

Both numerators are 1. In other words, they are equal

When you compare the denominator, 2 and 4, the fraction with lesser denominator is greater

This is so because:

$\frac{1}{2} = 0.5$

$\frac{1}{4} = 0.25$

By comparison

$0.5 > 0.25$

This analysis can  be used for any fraction as long as they have the same numerator

Hence, option A answers the question
