⠀⠀⠀⠀

  • the greater number is


\sf{\bold{\purple{\underline{\underline{Solution}}}}}

we have to find the greater number between 15/20 and 35/40

To do this,

we have to compare the denominator same.


  • \sf{(35)/(40)=(35×1)/(40×1)=(35)/(40) }


  • \sf{(15)/(20)=(15×2)/(20×2)=(30)/(40) }

According to the question,

we have to find the greatest one


  • \sf{(35)/(40) > (30)/(40) }


  • \sf{(35)/(40)>(15)/(20) }


\sf{\bold{\green{\underline{\underline{Answer}}}}}

⠀⠀


\therefore\mathrm{(35)/(40) > (15)/(20) }

Answer:

35/40

To compare, both denominator should be same.


(15)/(20)=(15*2)/(20*2)=(30)/(40)\\\\\\(30)/(40) \ < \ (35)/(40)\\\\\\(15)/(20) \ < \ (35)/(40)
