$\frac{3}{5}\text{or}\frac{4}{5}$

• A. Both are equal
• B. $\frac{3}{5}$
• C. $\frac{4}{5}$
• D. Cannot be determined

Answer 1

The correct option is B $\frac{3}{5}$

$\bullet$ In the given fractions $\frac{3}{5}\text{and}\frac{4}{5}$, the denominators are the same.
$\bullet$ So, the fraction with the smaller numerator is the smaller fraction.


$\bullet$ So, $\frac{3}{5}$ is smaller than $\frac{4}{5}$.

Hence, option A is correct.
