Solution Steps

Reduce the fraction \frac{4}{10} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$\frac{2}{5}-\frac{4\times 10}{10\times 10}=\frac{40}{100}$$

Cancel out 2\times 2\times 5 in both numerator and denominator.

$$\frac{2}{5}-\frac{2}{5}=\frac{40}{100}$$

Subtract \frac{2}{5} from \frac{2}{5} to get 0.

$$0=\frac{40}{100}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{40}{100} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 20.

$$0=\frac{2}{5}$$

Compare 0 and \frac{2}{5}.
