And why do u think it is that?

supie · Answer

The answer cant be 2/5, it has to be either <, >, or =.

Hoodmemes · Answer

Since they have the same denominators we compare them by the numerators, which is

2 and 4   4 is greater than 2

by knowing that what do u know think your answer is?

Yeah, they have the same denominators (bottom number) so we have to compare them by the numerators (the top number) so, if its 2 over 5 and 4 over 5, since 4 is greater than 2 what would the answer be? If you don't know what the symbols (<, >) then I could show you. Anyways, 4 out of 5 takes up more space than 2 out of 5 right? That would give you your answer. Keep in mind the answer wont be 2/5 or 4/5, you have to choose between <, >, or =, and = is obviously not an option.
