Question

What's the largest fraction in each group? a. 5⁄6 and 29⁄36 b. 5⁄12 and 3⁄8 c. 2⁄5 and 19⁄45 d. 5⁄7, 13⁄14, and 19⁄21

Answer 1

We have to find the largest fraction in each group.

a).
`$(5)/(6)$` and
`$(29)/(36)$`

`$(5)/(6)$` → when we divide the number 5 with 6, we get 0.833

`$(29)/(36)$` → when we divide 29 by 36, we get the value 0.805

Therefore, in this group,
`$(5)/(6)$` is the largest fraction.

b).
`$(5)/(12)$` and
`$(3)/(8)$`

`$(5)/(12)$` → when we divide the number 5 with 12, we get 0.416

`$(3)/(8)$` → when we divide 3 by 8, we get the value 0.375

Therefore, in this group,
`$(5)/(12)$` is the largest fraction.

c).
`$(2)/(5)$` and
`$(19)/(45)$`

`$(2)/(5)$` → when we divide the number 2 with 5, we get 0.40

`$(19)/(45)$` → when we divide 19 by 45, we get the value 0.42

Therefore, in this group,
`$(19)/(45)$` is the largest fraction.

d).
`$(5)/(7)$`,
`$(13)/(14)$` and
`$(19)/(21)$`

`$(5)/(7)$` → when we divide the number 5 with 7, we get 0.714

`$(13)/(14)$` → when we divide 13 by 14, we get the value 0.928

`$(19)/(21)$` → when we divide 19 by 21, we get the value 0.904

Therefore, in this group,
`$(13)/(14)$` is the largest fraction.
