Question

3 1/3 or 33/10 in this 31/3 is greater but why

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To check which is greater between two unlike fractions we first have to make their denominator same. Thus, for this question we would have to take the L.C.M of the denominators 3 and 10, which is 30.

Now,

31/3 × 10/10 = 310/30

33/10 × 3/3 = 99/30

Now,

we have got two fractions with the same denominator. Thus, we can compare them by simply comparing the numerators of both the fractions. Thus, we see that, 310 > 99, which means that 310/30 > 99/30 OR 31/3 > 33/10.

Hope it helps.
