Hello! I'm currently studying in order to take the Military ASVAB test using my book at the moment, and I need a little bit of help with this question. (Thank you in advance!)(Also I really need the short process for this equation, in order to get to the answer please, because this is not for class work.)

To compare the fractions we can convert each of them to its decimal form, we do this by making the quotient. Then we have:


\begin{gathered} (2)/(3)=0.66\bar{6} \\ (5)/(8)=0.625 \\ (11)/(16)=0.6875 \\ (3)/(4)=0.75 \end{gathered}

Now that we have each of them in decimal form we can compare them; doing this we conclude that the largest fraction is 3/4
