Question

Mohan and Sohan have the same story book. Mohan has read 2/5 of the book and Sohan has read 2/7 of the book. Who has read more pages?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Mohan reads more

Step-by-step explanation:

Mohan read = 2/5

Sohan read = 2/7

To compare both the fractions, we must make the denominators same.

LCM = 7×5 = 35

$mohan \: read \: = \: \frac{2}{5} \times \frac{7}{7 } \: = \: \frac{14}{35} \\ sohan \: read \: = \: \frac{2}{7} \: \times \: \frac{5}{5} = \: \frac{10}{35} \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \frac{14}{35} > \frac{10}{35}$

Therefore, mohan read more number of pages.
