Answer 2

Here we have to compare 15/12 and 7/16.

• For 15/12, The numerator is divided by a number that is smaller than it, that is 12.

        So, the result will be more than one.

• For 7/16, The numerator is a small number and the denominator greater number.

        So the result will be less than 1 .

            $\frac{15}{12} = 1.25$  and    $\frac{7}{16} = 0.43$

        Clearly, 15/12 is greater than 7/16

                         $\frac{15}{12} >\frac{7}{16}$
