What happens to the value of a fraction if the denominator of the fraction is decreased while numerator is kept unchanged

Solution:

In fractions, if the denominator part of the fraction is decreased the value of a fraction is

increased while the numerator remains the same. For example, 4/5 is a fraction with 4 as numerator and 5 as denominator.

Let us decrease the denominator by 2 then the fraction we get is 4/3.

This proves 4/5 < 4/3.
