Answer:

Less than 4/10

Step-by-step explanation:

First lets convert both fractions to a common denominator:

16 and 10 can both go into 80 equally.

Now lets convert the fractions so they have a denominator of 80:

(6/16)    *5  = 30/80

(4/10)    *8 = 32/80

we can multiply the fractions to get just the numerator   (*80)

Now compare 30 to 32.  As you can see 32 is greater meaning that 6/16 is less that 4/10.
