Question

compare the fraction 7/5,8/3
​

Answer 1

Answer:

7/5 is smaller as compared to 8/3

Step-by-step explanation:

first take lcm of 3 and 5 , i.e. 15

then multiply 7/5 to 3 and multiply 8/3 to 5

7/5 = 21/15 , 8/3 = 24/15

since 21/15 is smaller than 24/15

therefore 7/5 is smaller as compared to 8/3

Answer 2

Answer:

7/5 is smaller than 8/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Steps for comparing fractions

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

LCM of 5 and 3 is 15

●For the 1st fraction, since 5×3 = 15

(7×3)/(5×3) = 21/15

●Likewise, for the 2nd fraction, since 3×5 = 15

(8×5)/(3×5) = 40/15

●Since the denominators are now the same, the fraction with the bigger numerator is the greater fraction 40>21.

●So 8/3 is greater.
