Question

compare the fraction 5/8 and 4/7 ​

Answer 1

Answer:

First method:

By converting the fractions with same denominators.

Step(1):-

Take the LCM of the denominators of both the fractions.

Here,

The given fraction are 5/8 and 4/7.

Also,

LCM of denominators = LCM(8,7)

= 56

Step(2):-

Try to convert both the fractions with their denominators equal to the LCM.

Here,

5/8 = 5×7/8×7 = 35/56

and

4/7 = 4×8/7×8 = 32/56

Step (3):-

Now, compare both the fractions.

Clearly,

Here 35/56 is greater than 32/56.

Since, 35/56 > 32/56

Thus, 5/8 > 4/7.

Hence, 5/8 is greater than 4/7.

Second method:

By using cross multiplyication.

Here,

We have to compare the fractions;

5/8 and 4/7

ie, 5×7 and 4×8

ie, 35 and 32

Clearly,

Here, 35 > 32.

Thus, 5/8 > 4/7.

Hence, 5/8 is greater than 4/7.
