Answer 2

Answer:

7/14 is greater than 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

First we have to find the LCM of 14 and 15 .

LCM of 14 and 15 is 42

Now make the denominator as 42 by multiplying a number. ( WHAT EVER YOU DO TO THE NUMERATOR YOU SHOULD DO TO THE NUMERATOR )

So the answer after multiplying will be  7/14 = 105 /210,    1/15 =  14/210

Now comparing is easier 105 is greater  than 14
