Question

Q1. A copywriter is designing two advertisements for placement in a local newspaper. Which fraction represents the larger advertisement? if one advertisement covers 7/10 parts of a page and the other covers 14/15 parts of the same

Answer 1

The advertisement that covers 14/15 parts of the page represents the larger advertisement.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that one advertisement covers 7/10 parts of a page and the other covers 14/15 parts of the same.

The First fraction given is  =  $\frac{7}{10}$

and the second fraction is  =  $\frac{14}{15}$

To find which fraction is larger, we have to make the denominator same for both the fractions and then compare their numerators.

SO,  $\frac{7}{10}$  =  $\frac{7\times 3}{10\times 3} = \frac{21}{30}$

       $\frac{14}{15}$  =  $\frac{14\times 2}{15\times 2} = \frac{28}{30}$

Since the denominator for both the fractions are same, now we can clearly see that the numerator for the second fraction is larger than the numerator for the first fraction as 28 > 21.

Hence, the fraction $\frac{14}{15}$ represents the larger advertisement.
