Answer:
28/35 > 25/35
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the least common denominator or LCM of the two denominators:
LCM of 5 and 7 is 35
For the 1st fraction, since 5 × 7 = 35,
4/5
=
4 × 7
5 × 7
=
28
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
28/35 > 25/35
