Question

Compare 5/3 and 2/7 plz give correct ​

Answer 1

Answer:

hey!☺

Step-by-step explanation:

method:1:to compare two fractions take lcm of them

=5/3 and 2/7 so lcm of 3 and 7 is 21

=35/21 and 14/21

therefore 35/21 or 5/3 is greater

method 2: you can compare by cross multiplication also

5/3 and 2/7

=5×7 and 2×3

35 or 5/3 is greater than 6 or 2/7

method 3:you can simply say that 5/3 is greater than 2/7 as 5/3 is improper fraction and improper fractions are greater than proper fractions

mentioned all methods which i know because some people find method 1 easier than method 2 and vice-versa

use method 3 when you are attending competative exams as you'll have less time to solve over there.

hope it helps you ☺☺
