Given Fractions:
Since the denominators are not common (not the same), we need to find the Least Common Denominator (LCD), which is equivalent to the Least Common Multiple of 2 and 5:
LCD = LCM(2, 5) = 10
Express the given fractions as equivalent fractions with respect to the LCD (10):
5 is greater than 2 (5 > 2)
As a result,
1/2
and 1/5
Since the denominators are not common (not the same), we need to find the Least Common Denominator (LCD), which is equivalent to the Least Common Multiple of 2 and 5:
LCD = LCM(2, 5) = 10
Express the given fractions as equivalent fractions with respect to the LCD (10):
1/2
= 5/10
and 1/5
= 2/10
Since the equivalent fractions have common denominators, we can compare the numerators:5 is greater than 2 (5 > 2)
As a result,
5/10
is greater than 2/10
Therefore, 1/2
is greater than 1/5
, 1/2
> 1/5
