Question

Of 3/ 5 and 5/7 which is greater and by how much?


thanks.

Answer 1

3 / 5 = 3 / 5 * 7 / 7 = 21 / 35

5 / 7 = 5 / 7 * 5 / 5 = 25 / 35

25 / 35 - 21 / 35 = 4 / 35

Hence , 5 / 7 is greater by 4 / 35 than 3 / 5

Answer 2

Let's see.

$\frac{3}{5} = 0.6 \: and \: \frac{5}{7} = 0.7$
So, that concludes, 5/7 is the greater fraction with a value 0.1 more than 3/5.

Cheers!
