Is 11/20 less or greater than 1/2?
Is 0.21 less or greater than 1/2?

Answer 1

how can we make 11/20 equal to 1/2?

Answer 2

sorry let me rephrase that: what is the closest fraction to 11/20 that is equal to 1/2?

Answer 3

perhaps 10/20?

that being said, we had to subtract 1/20 from the equation to get it. Subtraction means its bigger than 1/2

Answer 4

for the decimal, lets change it to a fraction.

\[\frac{ 21 }{ 100 }\]
now we change 1/2 to be equivalant, which means we just put 100 in the denominator.
\[\frac{ 1 }{2}\]
\[\frac{ 1 * 50 }{2 * 50}\]
\[\frac{ 50 }{100}\]
now we can obviously see which is greater, 21 or 50? :)

Answer 5

50 ?

Answer 6

yep! so 1/2 is larger than the decimal :)
