Explain how you can tell 26 over 100 is greater than 1 over 4????
1/4 = 25/100
ms sue is right I got this question kinda guessed and got it right. (:
To determine whether 26/100 is greater than 1/4, you will need to compare the values of the two fractions. Here's how you can do it:
Step 1: Convert the fractions to a common denominator.
To compare fractions, they need to have the same denominator. In this case, we can convert 1/4 to an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 100. To do this, multiply both the numerator and denominator of 1/4 by 25:
1/4 * 25/25 = 25/100
Step 2: Compare the numerators of the fractions.
Now that the fractions have the same denominator, we can compare the numerators. In this case, 26 is greater than 25.
Step 3: Draw the conclusion.
Since 26 is greater than 25, we can conclude that 26/100 is greater than 1/4.
So, 26/100 > 1/4.
Alternatively, you can also directly compare the decimal values of the fractions. To do this, divide the numerator by the denominator for each fraction:
26/100 ≈ 0.26
1/4 = 0.25
Comparing the decimal values, we can see that 0.26 is greater than 0.25. Therefore, the conclusion remains the same: 26/100 is greater than 1/4.
