Step-by-step explanation:

1.)Compare 3/5 and 5/7

3/5 is smaller than 5/7

Steps for comparing fractions

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

LCM of 5 and 7 is 35.

Next, find the equivalent fraction of both fractional numbers with denominator 35

For the 1st fraction, since 5 × 7 = 35,

3/5 = 3×7/5×7 = 21/35.

Likewise, for the 2nd fraction, since 7 × 5 = 35,

5/7 = 5×5/7×5 = 25/35.

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

21/35 < 25/35

or 3/5 < 5/7. Answer
