Question

Compare the two fractions using <, >, or =.

1/2___ 4/10

>
<
=

Answer 1

Here's a similar example

Let's say we want to compare 1/3 and 7/8
First we assume they are equal

1/3 = 7/8
1*8 = 3*7 ... cross multiply
8 = 21
The third equation is false, so the first equation is false

We can fix things by replacing each equal sign with a less than sign

1/3 < 7/8
1*8 < 3*7
8 < 21

So we see that 1/3 is smaller than 7/8

You'll follow similar steps in your question. The answer may or may not be a less than sign.
