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
It is called "writing a fraction as an equivalent fraction with a larger denominator"!
2/5 x 10 = 4
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.
The name of a fraction with a larger number on top is called an improper fraction.
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.
If you mean: 2/7 minus 1/11 then it is 15/77
