Question

Compare the fractions 3/13 and 7/8

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The two fractions are 3/13 and 7/8 and have denominators and so we will take the L.C.M. of 13 and 8.

L.C.M. of 13 and 8 = 104

Now in 3/13 we will multiply both numerator and denominator by 8 because 13 makes 104 when multiplied by 8.

so 3×8/13×8 = 24/104.

Now in 7/8 we will multiply both numerator and denominator by 13 because 8 makes 104 when multiplied by 13.

so 7×13/8×13 = 91/104

Now, as the denominators are same so we will compare 24 and 91.

And so 7/8 is greater than 3/13 as 91 is greater than 24.

hope it will help.
