Question

why 1/2 is greater than 1/4

Answer 1

Think about it in terms of a hundred dollar bill
What holds greater value, a 50 dollar bill or a twenty dollar bill?
Obviously the $50, so that's why 1/2 is  greater then 1/4 I hope this helps

Answer 2

Hey there!
To answer this question, let's transform both of them into decimals so that they are easier to work with. To transform a fraction into a decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator.

So, 1/2=0.5 ----- Divide 1 by 2
1/4=0.25 ------- Divide 1 by 4

So, the final answer is that 1/2 is greater than 1/4.
