Question

(a) compare the following pairs of rational number.
1) 15/32 and 17/24?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

15/32 _ 17/24

L CM of 32 and 24 equals to 96

45/96<68/96

15/32<17/24

Answer 2

$Lcm \: \: of \: \: 32 \: \: and \: 24 = 96 \\ \frac{15 \: \: \times \: \: 3}{32 \: \: \times \: \: 3 } = \frac{45}{96} \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \ \\ \frac{17 \: \: \times \: \: 4 \: \: \: \: \: }{24\: \: \times \: \: \: 4 \: \: \: \: \: } = \frac{68}{96} \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \\ \frac{15}{32} = \frac{45}{96} \: \: and \: \: \frac{17}{24} = \frac{68}{96} \: \: \: \\ so, \: \: \frac{68}{96} > \frac{45}{96}=\frac{17}{24} > \frac{15}{32}$
