2 over 5 is larger than 2 over 7. With a fixed numerator, the larger the denominator, the smaller the fraction becomes.
Think like this: compare 1/5 and 1/7. With one seventh, it takes 7 of them to make a whole. With one fifth, it only takes 5 to make the same whole, so each one is bigger.
So if 1/5 > 1/7, then take two of each and two-fifths are greater than two-sevenths.
There are several options: As a fraction: 2/5 (2over5) As a decimal: 0.4 As a percent: 40%
6 over 10
There are many equivalent fractions for 2/5, eg. 4/10, 10/25, 20/50. The rule for making an equivalent fraction is; 2/5 = 2x/5x, meaning just multiply the top and bottom by the same number.
2/5 x 10 = 4
It is called "writing a fraction as an equivalent fraction with a larger denominator"!
The name of a fraction with a larger number on top is called an improper fraction.
If you mean: 2/7 minus 1/11 then it is 15/77
When the fractions are converted to equivalent fractions with the same denominator the one with the larger numerator is the larger fraction.
A fraction can be larger than 1, for example, 4/2 is a fraction (which can be simplified to 2). Only a fraction that is larger than 1, multiplied by another number gives you a larger number.
