Which is greater 7/3 or 5/2? How do you know

In order to understand which one is greater, you need to make the denominator on both fractions equal.

7/3 (2)= 14/6
5/2 (3)= 15/6

Since 15/6 is greater than 14/6:

5/2 is the greater fraction.
Hope this helps!!!

You need to get the denominator at the same number first. The Lowest common denominator is 6. So multiple 7/3 by 2 and 5/2 by 3 to get 14/6 and 15/6. 15/6 is greater. 15/6 is 5/2, so the answer is 5/2. I hope this helps!
