    No ... look at it as if it was a pie ... 1 slice out of 5 as aposed to 1 slice of 4.

    therefore 1/4 is larger

    To solve this let write the equation

    (1/5) > (1/4) True or false

    Hard to compare without a common denominator. So lets get a common denominator 20 seems like a good number

    (4/20) > (5/20) we can see that 1/4 is greater than 1/5 so the answer is false
