Question

A boy reads 2/3 of a book on the first day and 1/5 on the second day. on which day did he read major part of the book?

Answer 1

Given that a boy reads 2/3 of a book on the first day and 1/5 on the second day.

Now to find on which day did he read major part of the book. we need to check which number in 2/3 and 1/5 is bigger.

Since their denominators are not equal so first we need to make them equal.

Easiest way is to multiply each fraction by denominator of other as shown below:

$\frac{2}{3},\frac{1}{5}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{2}{3}*\frac{5}{5},\frac{1}{5}*\frac{3}{3}$$\Rightarrow \frac{10}{15},\frac{3}{15}$

Now by looking at numerator we can easily tell which one is bigger.

we see that 10/15 is more which is obtained from 2/3.

Hence on the first day he read major part of the book.
