The denominator indicates the number of parts in the whole of something is divided.

The numerator represents the number of part out of whole are selected.

Now,

We are given two fraction for comparison; 7/15 km and 7/10

To compare fractions we will take equalize the denominator.

Therefore.,

LCM of 15 and 10 = 30

7/15 = 14/30

7/10 = 21/30

On comparing the fractions we can see that the second fraction is greater than the first fraction.

14/30 < 21/30
