You just need to get a common denominator and then you can simply compare them.

100 is a common denominator of 5 and 100.

so change 1/5 to 20/100 by multiplying 1/5 by 20/20.

1/5=20/100 and now the question becomes...

is 20/100 bigger than 12/100

no, 20 hundredths is bigger than 12 hundredths

1 over 5 is not bigger than 12 over 100
