Can 1/2 ever be greater than 1/4. Why.

In the world I live in

1/2 is always greater than 1/4

if 1/2 was negative then 1/4 would be greater.

To determine if 1/2 could ever be greater than 1/4, we need to compare their values.

One way to compare fractions is by finding a common denominator. In this case, since the denominators are already 2 and 4, we can compare them directly.

To make the denominators the same, we could multiply both fractions by 2. So, 1/2 becomes 2/4.

Now, we have 2/4 and 1/4. Clearly, 2/4 is greater than 1/4. Thus, 1/2 can indeed be greater than 1/4.
