Question

compare. 14/15 , 4/5​

Answer 1

Answer:

14 /15  is greater than  4 /5

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the least common denominator or LCM of the two denominators:

LCM of 15 and 5 is 15

For the 1st fraction, since 15 × 1 = 15,

14 /15  =  14 × 1 /15 × 1  =  14 /15

Likewise, for the 2nd fraction, since 5 × 3 = 15,

4 /5 =  4 × 3 /5 × 3  =  12 /15

Since the denominators are now the same, the fraction with the bigger numerator is the greater fraction

14 /15  >  12/15

or  

14 /15  >  4 /5

Answer 2

First convert the numbers to like fractions.
