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
