Less

Explanation:

It would be, if you set up a proportion, it would be:

52/x = 130/100" "(larr " bigger")/(larr"smaller")52x=130100 biggersmaller

You have to multiply: 52 xx 10052×100 and divide the product by 130130 to get xx,

x = (52xx100)/130x=52×100130

Once you’ve worked that out, you’ll see that it is less.

Hope this helped :)
