Answer 1

Answer: $\frac{12}{40}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

-If we were to simplify $\frac{6}{30}$ we would be able to simplify it to $\frac{1}{5}$.

-Multiply $\frac{6}{30}$ by 100 and you get 20 .

-Now compare that with $\frac{3}{10}$ which is $\frac{12}{40}$ simplified.

-Multiply $\frac{12}{40}$ by 100 and you get 30.

-We can now tell that $\frac{12}{40}$ is greater than $\frac{6}{30}$.

Answer 2

Answer:

12/40

Step-by-step explanation:

match the denominators so have 6/30 be multiplies with 40/40 and 12/40 multiplied with 30/30

6/30(40/40) = 240/1200

12/40(30/30) = 360/1200

As we can see, 360/1200 is bigger than 240/1200, therefore 12/40 is bigger
