5 fractions smaller than 2/5
To find 5 fractions smaller than 2/5, we need to decrease the numerator (top number) while keeping the denominator (bottom number) the same. Here are five fractions smaller than 2/5:
1/5
3/10
1/10
1/6
1/8
To find five fractions that are smaller than 2/5, we can generate them by finding fractions with smaller numerators and/or larger denominators. Here are five fractions that are smaller than 2/5:
1. 1/5
- To obtain this fraction, we decrease the numerator by 1, while keeping the denominator the same.
2. 1/6
- Here, we not only decrease the numerator by 1 but also increase the denominator to get a smaller fraction.
3. 1/7
- In this case, the numerator decreases by 1, while the denominator increases.
4. 1/8
- Similar to the previous fractions, we decrease the numerator by 1 and increase the denominator.
5. 2/6
- For this fraction, we increase the denominator, but keep the numerator the same as in the original fraction.
These are just a few examples of fractions that are smaller than 2/5. There are infinitely many other possibilities.
