Answer (3)

No, the answer is 1/2 (2/4). If you have a pie, cut 4 pieces, and take one piece, that is 1/4. If you cut a pie in two pieces and take one piece, you took 1/2 AND that piece you took would be bigger than the 1/4 piece.

when comparing fractions the denominators of the 2 fractions should be equal
the fractions being compared
4 1 ​ the denominator is 4
4 2 ​ the denominator is 4
therefore both fractions have the same denominator
then we can directly compare the numerators
higher the numerator value, higher the value of the fraction
so from 1/4 and 2/4 , the fraction with a greater numerator is 2/4
so the larger fraction is 2/4

The fraction 4 2 ​ is larger than 4 1 ​ because both fractions share the same denominator. Since 2 (the numerator of 4 2 ​ ) is greater than 1 (the numerator of 4 1 ​ ), 4 2 ​ is the larger fraction.
