I want the answer and the formula
To compare the quantity of bananas and mangoes in the fruit basket, we can determine which fraction is greater: 1/4 or 3/8.
To do this, we can find a common denominator for both fractions. In this case, the least common denominator (LCD) for 4 and 8 is 8.
Let's convert 1/4 to an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 8:
1/4 * 2/2 = 2/8
Now, let's compare 2/8 and 3/8:
2/8 < 3/8
Since 3/8 is greater than 2/8, we can conclude that there are more mangoes in the fruit basket than bananas.
