Question

Which is bigger, 64/107 or 15/35. my calculator says 64/107 is bigger but that can’t be true, right?

Answer 1

64/107 is bigger

Explanation:

In this case, what we must do is calculate the decimal form in each fraction in order to determine which is bigger, just like this:

`\begin{gathered} (64)/(107)\cong0.6 \\ (15)/(35)\cong0.4 \\ \text{therefore} \\ 0.4<0.6 \\ (15)/(35)<(64)/(107) \end{gathered}`

Which means that 64/107 is bigger that 15/35
