Question

October 2/3and 7 /9 which is greater than and by how much ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let’s use a common denominator for 7/9 and 2/3. The LCM (least common multiple) of 3 and 9 is 9. That means 9 is a common denominator for 7/9 and 2/3.

7/9 is already in terms of 9ths.

Let’s convert 2/3 into an equivalent fraction in terms of 9ths, by multiplying both the numerator 2 and the denominator 3, by a factor of 3.

2/3 = (2 x 3)/(3 x 3) = 6/9.

Now our 2 fractions are 7/9 and 6/9, respectively.

The denominators are now the same (9), with different numerators (7 and 6), it’s easy to compare the fractions, by comparing the numerators.

7 is greater than 6, so:

7/9 is GREATER than 6/9.

Therefore:

7/9 is GREATER than 2/3.
