Question

Write the fractions 5/7 and 2/3 with a common denominator and determine which is greater

Answer 1

5/7 is greater

Explanation:

5/7 * 3/3 = 15/21

2/3 * 7/7 = 14/21

So 5/7 is greater.

Answer 2

15/21 and 14/21 so 5/7 is greater

Explanation:

21 is the least common multiple for 3 and 7 so you multiply 7 by 3 to get 21 and do the same with the numerator to get 15 and vice versa.
