Answer:
3/4 is greatest
Step-by-step explanation:
Fractions are given as
3/5, 3/4, 2/7 and 1/2
In order to find which of the fraction is greatest, make the denominator equal and then arrange in ascending order
First, to make the denominator common, find the LCM (5, 4, 7 and 2)
LCM (5, 4, 7 and 2) = 5 × 4 × 7 = 140
Thus, we get
3/5 = (3 × 28)/(5 × 28) = 84/140
3/4 = (3 × 35)/(4 × 35) = 105/140
2/7 = (2 × 20)/(7 × 20) = 40/140
1/2 = (1 × 70)/(2 × 70) = 70/140
Now, arranging in the ascending order of numerator, we get
40/140, 70/140, 84/140 and 105/140
Thus, greatest fraction is 105/140 = 3/4
