Is 1/5 greater than 1/4?

Nolook at it as if it was a pie1 slice out of 5 as aposed to 1 slice of 4.
therefore 1/4 is larger

To solve this let write the equation

(1/5) > (1/4)  True or false

Hard to compare without a common denominator. So lets get a common denominator 20 seems like a good number 

(4/20) > (5/20)  we can see that 1/4 is greater than 1/5 so the answer is false
