Compare Fraction and Decimal: 1/5 ? 0.22 - Select the Correct Sign

Choose the appropriate sign:

$\frac{1}{5}?0.22$

First, let's convert the simple fraction into a decimal fraction.

We'll multiply the fraction so that we get 10 in the denominator:

$\frac{1}{5}\times\frac{2}{2}=\frac{2}{10}$$$

Now let's convert the simple fraction we got to a decimal fraction.

Let's write the number 2 as a decimal fraction:

$2=2.$

Since the simple fraction we got is divisible by 10, we'll move the decimal point one place to the left and get:

$2.=.2=0.2$

Let's compare the two decimal numbers we got. We'll add 0 to the number 0.2:

$0.20 < 0.22$
