Question

3/7 is it< or> then 3/5​

Answer 1

Two ways of solving:

1. Convert the fractions to decimals:

3/7 = 0.42857

3/5 = 0.6

0.42857 < 0.6

So 3/7 < 3/5

Second way is to rewrite the fractions with a common denominator:

3/7 = 15/35

3/5 = 21/35

Now compare the numerators:

15 < 21 so 3/7 < 3/5
