Here are two methods you can use to compare fractions.

1) Convert to a common denominator. Then compare the numerators.

2) Convert both fractions to decimal, using a calculator. For example, 2/3 = 0.66666... (that is, you divide 2 by 3).

Do it in decimals: 1/4 = 0.25, 2/5 = 0.4 . 2/5 is obviously greater than 1/4.
