Question

Lobo divided a rope into $5$ parts. He used $\frac{3}{5}$ of it to hang the load and $\frac{2}{5}$ of it to tie the flag. Compare the two fractions.

• A. All of the above
• B. $\frac{2}{5}>\frac{3}{5}$
• C. $\frac{3}{5}>\frac{2}{5}$
• D. $\frac{3}{5}=\frac{2}{5}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\frac{3}{5}>\frac{2}{5}$

The two fractions are $\frac{3}{5}$ and $\frac{2}{5}$.
Both fractions have the same denominator.

By comparing their numerator, we can see that $3$ is greater than $2$.
Thus, $\frac{3}{5}>\frac{2}{5}$.
