LCM of the denominators of the fraction = 15

Now,

As Per question,

$\frac{12}{15} = \frac{12 \times 1}{15 \times 1} = \frac{12}{15}$

$\frac{3}{5} = \frac{3 \times 3}{5 \times 3} = \frac{9}{15}$

$\frac{12}{15} > \frac{9}{15}$

Therefore,

$\frac{12}{15} > \frac{3}{5}$

Answer 2

For comparision,take LCM of denominators:-

12 , 3 x3

15 5x3

12/15 , 9/15

So, 12/15 is greater than 3/5.

Alternate method:--

12/15 , 3/5

4/5 (Dividing 12/15 by 3) , 3/5

4/5 , 3/5

So, 4/5,ie,12/15 is greater than 3/5
