Question

Find the greater number in each of following pairs rational numbers: a)6/10 and 4/16

Answer 1

Solution :

given two rational numbers are 6/10 and 4/16

Now,

equalize both the denominator

so,

6/10 = (6×8)÷(10×8) = 48/80

4/16 = (4×5)÷(16×5) = 20/80

Now,

compare the numerator

As 48 > 20

it means, 48/60 > 20/80

therefore,

6/10 > 4/16
