• 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 2

35/40

Explanation:

To compare, both denominator should be same.

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