3/5=21/35 4/7=20/35 3/5 is bigger by a small bit
Well, honey, let me break it down for you. To compare fractions, you need a common denominator. In this case, both fractions have a denominator of 5 times 4, which is 20. When you do the math, 4/5 is bigger than 3/4. So, 4 over 5 is the bigger fish in this pond.
7/8 > 4/5 ? (cross multiply)7 x 5 > 4 x 8 ?35 > 32So that 7/8 > 4/5.
4/5 + 2/11 needs to have common denominators. In this case that is 55. 4/5 (11) + 2/11 (5) = 44/55 + 10/55 = 54/55.
four over five is 4/5, or four fifths. One over four is 1/4 or one fourth. 4/5 - 1/4 =16/20 - 5/20 = 11/20.
