Question

5. What's the largest fraction in each group?

a 56 and 29/36
b.5/12 and 3
c.25 and 1945
d 5/7, 13/14, and 1921

Answer 1

a)
`56  > (29)/(36)`

b)
`3  > (5)/(12)`

c)1945 > 45

d) 1921 >5/7, 13/14

Explanation:

a) 56 and 29/36

`(29)/(36)  = 0.80`

⇒ 56 > 0.80

or,
`56  > (29)/(36)`

b) 5/12 and 3

`(5)/(12)  = 0.41`

⇒ 3 > 0.41

or,
`3  > (5)/(12)`

c) 25 and 1945

Here, 1945 > 45

d) 5/7, 13/14, and 1921

`(5)/(7)  = 0.71`

`(13)/(14)  = 0.92`

⇒ 1921 > 0.71 and 0.92

or, 1921 >5/7, 13/14
