Compare the two numbers by choosing < , > or =.
2/5 □ 1/3
A. =
B. >
C. <
the answer is B. >
my way of thinking is that you make both fractions have the same denominator and by doing that you multiply the 2/5 by 3 making it 6/15 and multiplying the 1/3 by 5 making it 5/15
after that is done you simply compare making the question 6/15 □ 5/15
