Find which is greater between the two given numbers:
=> 4/6
=> 5/7
To know the answer, we need to convert both given fraction numbers into decimals number.
To do that, simply divide the numerator from the denominator.
=> 4 / 6 (4 is numerator and 6 is denominator)
=> 0.6667 – a repeating decimal
=> 5 / 7 (5 is numerator and 7 is denominator)
=> 0.714
They are almost the same but still 5/7 is greater than 4/6
