Question

Find the fraction which is as much greater than 5/8 as is less than 6/7.

Answer 1

let us convert both to fractions with same denominator(lcm of 7 and 8 ) so it is easy to compare 
5/8 = 35/56  (multiplying both numerator and denominator with 7 )
6/7 = 48/56  (multiplying both numerator and denominator with 8 )
now comparing both we get , that any fraction with denominator 56 and numerator between 35 and 48 can be the answer. eg- 40/56 = 5/7
 hope it helps :)

Answer 2

The value of the fraction is $\frac{5}{7}$  which is greater than $\frac{5}{8}$ as is less than $\frac{6}{7}$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The two fractions $\frac{5}{8}$ and $\frac{6}{7}$.

To Find:

The fraction which is as much greater than 5/8 as is less than 6/7.

Solution:

As given,The two fractions $\frac{5}{8}$ and $\frac{6}{7}$.

The decimal value of fraction $\frac{5}{8}= 0.625$.

The decimal value of fraction $\frac{6}{7}= 0.857$.

From option 1.

$\implies \frac{1}{3}$ ,The decimal value of fraction $\frac{1}{3}= 0.333$.

From option 2.

$\implies \frac{3}{5}$ ,The decimal value of fraction $\frac{3}{5}= 0.60$.From option 3.

From option 3.

$\implies \frac{4}{7}$ ,The decimal value of fraction $\frac{4}{7}= 0.571$.

From option 4.

$\implies \frac{5}{7}$ ,The decimal value of fraction $\frac{5}{7}= 0.714$.

Thus, the value of the fraction is $\frac{5}{7}$  which is greater than $\frac{5}{8}$ as is less than $\frac{6}{7}$.
