To compare 2/5 and 3/8, convert them to a common denominator of 40. 2/5 = 16/40 and 3/8 = 15/40. Since 16/40 > 15/40, 2/5 > 3/8.

1/4 is equal to 3/12. Comparing 3/12 and 2/12, it is clear that 3/12 > 2/12, so 1/4 > 2/12.

3/3 equals 1 and 8/8 equals 1. Therefore, 3/3 = 8/8.

8/9 is approximately 0.888 and 9/10 is 0.9. Since 0.888 < 0.9, 8/9 < 9/10.

2/5 is equal to 4/10 when the numerator and denominator are multiplied by 2. Thus, 2/5 = 4/10.

4/12 simplifies to 1/3, which is approximately 0.33. 4/5 is 0.8. Since 0.33 < 0.8, 4/12 < 4/5.

1/10 is 0.1 and 1/3 is approximately 0.33. Since 0.1 < 0.33, 1/10 < 1/3.

3/4 is equal to 6/8. Since 6/8 > 3/8, 3/4 > 3/8.

1/2 is 0.5 and 3/5 is 0.6. Since 0.5 < 0.6, 1/2 < 3/5.

1/2 is equal to 7/14. Since 7/14 > 6/14, 1/2 > 6/14.

6/12 simplifies to 1/2. Therefore, 1/2 = 6/12.

1/2 is equal to 4.5/9. Since 4.5/9 > 4/9, 1/2 > 4/9.

To be greater than 1/2, the numerator must be more than half of the denominator. Since 5/9 is greater than 4.5/9, it is greater than 1/2.

A fraction is less than 1/2 if the numerator is less than half of the denominator. For 7/16, half of 16 is 8, and 7 is less than 8.

A fraction is equal to 1/2 if the denominator is exactly twice the numerator. In 7/14, 14 is 2 times 7.
