Question

Find the greatest rational number: 5/6 and 4/8 I NEED WITH STEP ​

Answer 1

Answer:

5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

look for lcd ( lowest common denominator ) of both denominators, 6 and 8

lcd is 24

then make both denominators into 24

5/6 = 20/24 and 4/8 = 12/24

24 divided by 6 is 4 so u multiply 4 to the numerator which is 5, giving 20

24 divided by 8 is 3 so u multiply 8 to the numerator which is 4, giving 12

Answer 2

Answer:

I am not sure if this is what you meant.

But if you have to choose the greatest between 5/6 and 4/8, you'll need to 'make' the denominator same, so that you can compare the numerators fairly.

Step-by-step explanation:

Find LCM of denominators

The LCM of 6 and 8 is 24

Now for the first fraction 5/6:

We know that 6 times 4 is 24, so we will multiply 4 to the numerator and denominator

$\frac{5}{6}$ = $\frac{5*4}{6*4}$ = $\frac{20}{24}$

Similarly, for the second fraction 4/8:

$\frac{4}{8} = \frac{4*3}{8*3} = \frac{12}{24}$

Now that the denominators are equal, we can compare the numerators

Since 20 > 12,

thereffore 5/6 is greater than 4/8.
