​

Answer 1

hens 4 divided by 5 is the greatest

Answer 2

Let us find the LCM of the denominators (4, 2, 5, 3)

4=2×2

2=2×1

5=5×1

3=3×1

Therefore, LCM=60

3/4=3×15/4×15=45/60

1/2=1×30/2×30=30/60

4/5=4×12/5×12=48/60

1/3=1×20/3×20=20/60

48/60 > 45/60 >30/69 > 20/60

4/5 > 3/4 > 1/2 > 1/3

Therefore, 4/5 is the largest fraction
