Question

Help please. I don't really understand.

Answer 1

Ok. 1/4 is 9/36 . you do this by seeing what will give you 36 when you have a 4 . and 9/9 when you divided both you get 0.25.

again we have 4/9 and we see what we can put in to get another 36 , but we have a 9, so it’s 4. 4/9 x 4/4 = 16/36 when you divide this you them both you get 0.44 so they’re equivalent.


so 0.25 is less than 0.44

basically it’s saying 25<44

so 1/4 is less than 4/9
