What is greater 40% or 1/5?
let's convert them to the same form, i choose a fraction (but percent could also be good)
40 % is equal to \(\frac{40}{100}\) (% means "of hundred" and can be also interpreted as "divided by 100"
\(\frac{40}{100} = \frac{4}{10}=\frac{2}{5}\)
and \(\frac{2}{5}\) is bigger than \(\frac{1}{5}\)
40 % is bigger!
\(\text{I will solve mathematical.} \\ \\{40\%= \frac{4 ot0}{10 ot0} \Rightarrow \frac{\ 4^{(2}}{10} \rightarrow \frac{2}{5}} \\ \\ 40\%= \frac{2}{5} \\ \\ \\ \boxed{ \boxed{\frac{2}{5} \ \textgreater \ \frac{1}{5} }} \\ \\ 2:5=0.4 \\ 1:5=0.2\)
