Is 3 over 5 greater or 1 over 2?

Answer 1

3/5 and 1/2 Bring to a common denomintor of '10' (2 X 5)

Then bring the numerstors to equaivalent values.

Hence

3/5 = 6/10 & 1/2 = 5/10

Compare the numerators 6 > 5

Hence it follows that 3/5 > 1/2

Answer 2

3/5 = (3 x 2)/(5 x 2) = 6/10

1/2 = (1 x 5)/(2 x 5) = 5/10

6/10 - 5/10 = 1/10

3/5 is greater than 1/2 by 1/10.

Answer 3

3/5 is greater than 1/2
