1. Find Comparing fractions `1/2` and `2/3`

Solution:
Comparing Fractions Using Cross Multiplication Method
`1/2` [ ] `2/3`

Step-1 : Cross Multiplication
`1 xx 3` [ ] `2 xx 2`

`3` [ ] `4`

Step-2 : Compare the products
Here 3 < 4
So, `1/2 < 2/3`
2. Find Comparing fractions `5/4` and `4/5`

Solution:
Comparing Fractions Using Cross Multiplication Method
`5/4` [ ] `4/5`

Step-1 : Cross Multiplication
`5 xx 5` [ ] `4 xx 4`

`25` [ ] `16`

Step-2 : Compare the products
Here 25 > 16
So, `5/4 > 4/5`
3. Find Comparing fractions `3/4` and `2/5`

Solution:
Comparing Fractions Using Cross Multiplication Method
`3/4` [ ] `2/5`

Step-1 : Cross Multiplication
`3 xx 5` [ ] `2 xx 4`

`15` [ ] `8`

Step-2 : Compare the products
Here 15 > 8
So, `3/4 > 2/5`
4. Find Comparing fractions `2/5` and `4/5`

Solution:
Comparing Fractions Using Cross Multiplication Method
`2/5` [ ] `4/5`

Step-1 : Cross Multiplication
`2 xx 5` [ ] `4 xx 5`

`10` [ ] `20`

Step-2 : Compare the products
Here 10 < 20
So, `2/5 < 4/5`
