Solution Steps

Least common multiple of 4 and 25 is 100. Convert \frac{1}{4} and \frac{3}{25} to fractions with denominator 100.

$$\frac{25}{100}+\frac{12}{100}=\frac{3}{48}$$

Since \frac{25}{100} and \frac{12}{100} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{25+12}{100}=\frac{3}{48}$$

Add 25 and 12 to get 37.

$$\frac{37}{100}=\frac{3}{48}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{3}{48} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 3.

$$\frac{37}{100}=\frac{1}{16}$$

Least common multiple of 100 and 16 is 400. Convert \frac{37}{100} and \frac{1}{16} to fractions with denominator 400.

$$\frac{148}{400}=\frac{25}{400}$$

Compare \frac{148}{400} and \frac{25}{400}.

$$\text{false}$$
