Question

compare the fractions 3/8+ 7/12
​

Answer 1

Answer:

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

LCM of 12 and 8 is 24

For the 1st fraction, since 12 × 2 = 24,

7 /12 = 7 × 2 / 12 × 2  = 14/24

Likewise, for the 2nd fraction, since 8 × 3 = 24,

3 /8 = 3 × 3/8 × 3  = 9 /4

Since the denominators are now the same, the fraction with the bigger numerator is the greater fraction

14/24 > 9/24 or 7/12 > 3/8
