Answer:a) 3/12 is smaller than 5/12
b) -5/3 is smaller than 40/27
Step-by-step explanation: In the 1 question we can see two numbers which are 3/10 and 5/12
While using the butterfly method
3. 5
10. 12. (Multiply 3/10 denominator with 5/ 12 numerator and 3/10s numerator with 5/12 denominator.
10*5=50
3*12=36
36 is smaller than 50
I.e. 5/12 is greater.
In 2 question we can see two numbers which are -5/3 and 40/27
Clearly 40/27 is greater because it is an improper fraction and when converted into mixed fraction:
1 27/13 that means it is a whole number and whole numbers are always greater than fraction as fractions are a part of a whole.
