No, the answer is 1/2 (2/4). If you have a pie, cut 4 pieces, and take one piece, that is 1/4. If you cut a pie in two pieces and take one piece, you took 1/2 AND that piece you took would be bigger than the 1/4 piece.

when comparing fractions the denominators of the 2 fractions should be equal

the fractions being compared

[tex] \frac{1}{4} [/tex] the denominator is 4

[tex] \frac{2}{4} [/tex] the denominator is 4

therefore both fractions have the same denominator

then we can directly compare the numerators

higher the numerator value, higher the value of the fraction

so from 1/4 and 2/4 , the fraction with a greater numerator is 2/4

so the larger fraction is 2/4
