Step-by-step explanation:
One way to find the correct symbol is
Cross Multiply:
[tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] ⊂⊃ [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
Don't know how to cross multiply?
Answer to cross multiply - Multiplying the numerator of the left-hand fraction by the denominator of the right-hand fraction. That the first step. After that, multiply the numerator of the right-hand fraction by the denominator of the left-hand fraction. Which is shown below in picture.
Now let's start:
[tex]\frac{1}{3}?\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
1 × 4 = 4
1 × 3 = 3
Thus we have:
[tex]^4\frac{1}{3}?\frac{1}{4}^3[/tex]
4 is bigger than 3
Thus the correct symbol is:
[tex]\frac{1}{3} > \frac{1}{4}[/tex]
