Answer :

a. > because 1/2 is more than 2/5

1/2 = 0.5
2/5 = 0.4

Answer:

Option a. >

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Statement  [tex]\frac{1}{2} ? \frac{2}{5}[/tex]

To find : Insert the sign to make the statment true?

Solution:

We know,

The value [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] and [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] are not equal.

So, No equality sign.

Now,  [tex]\frac{1}{2}=0.5[/tex]

[tex]\frac{2}{5}=0.4[/tex]

And [tex]0.5>0.4[/tex]

which means [tex]\frac{1}{2}>\frac{2}{5}[/tex]

Therefore, Option a is correct.
