Question

Compare the decimal forms of 2/5 and 4/9
how are they alike and how are they different?

Answer 1

Answer:

These numbers are not the same as 4/9 is bigger than 2/5.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we have to compare the decimal forms of 2/5 and 4/9.

We determine that the numbers in decimal forms are:

$\frac{2}{5}=0.4$

$\frac{4}{9}=0.44444...\:$

so

$\frac{4}{9}=0.44444$ is clearly bigger than $\frac{2}{5}=0.4$.

Therefore, these numbers are not the same as 4/9  is bigger than 2/5.
