Exercise 45 Page 72

Rewrite both numbers as fractions with the same denominator.

16/30

Practice makes perfect
In order to compare the given numbers, it is necessary that we rewrite them so that they are both in the same form. We will write 50 % as a fraction.
50 %
50/100
1/2
In order to compare it to 1630, we will rewrite 12 so that it has 30 as denominator.
1/2
15/30
Now that the values have the same denominator, comparing them is easier. 16/30 > 15/30 Therefore, 1630 is greater.
