3/4 __________4/25

1 answer

To compare the fractions \( \frac{3}{4} \) and \( \frac{4}{25} \), we can find a common denominator or convert them to decimal form.

  1. Finding a common denominator:

    • The least common multiple (LCM) of 4 and 25 is 100.
    • Convert both fractions:
      • \( \frac{3}{4} = \frac{3 \times 25}{4 \times 25} = \frac{75}{100} \)
      • \( \frac{4}{25} = \frac{4 \times 4}{25 \times 4} = \frac{16}{100} \)
  2. Comparing the fractions:

    • \( \frac{75}{100} > \frac{16}{100} \)

Thus, \( \frac{3}{4} > \frac{4}{25} \).

In short, the answer to fill in the blank is: \( \frac{3}{4} > \frac{4}{25} \)
