Question

which fraction is greater than \\(\frac{3}{5}\\)? \\(\frac{2}{5}\\) \\(\frac{3}{5}\\) \\(\frac{4}{5}\\) \\(\frac{1}{5}\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Compare numerators (same denominator)

For fractions with the same denominator $\frac{a}{5}$ and $\frac{b}{5}$, the fraction with the larger numerator is greater.

Step2: Evaluate each option

• $\frac{2}{5}$: $2 < 3$, so $\frac{2}{5} < \frac{3}{5}$
• $\frac{3}{5}$: $3 = 3$, so $\frac{3}{5} = \frac{3}{5}$
• $\frac{4}{5}$: $4 > 3$, so $\frac{4}{5} > \frac{3}{5}$
• $\frac{1}{5}$: $1 < 3$, so $\frac{1}{5} < \frac{3}{5}$

Answer:

$\frac{4}{5}$
