Answer:
LHS RHS
2/7. 4/5
LCM is 35
2/7= 10/35. 4/5= 28/35
28/35>10/35
So Seema did more work than Ramesh.
Question:
Ramesh solved 2 /7 part of an exercise while seema solved 4/5 of it. Who solved less?
Answer:
- Ramesh solved the lesser part.
Given :
- Part solved by Ramesh = 2/7
- Part solved by Seema = 4/5
To find :
- Who solved the lesser part =?
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that ;
Part solved by Ramesh = 2/7
Part solved by Seema = 4/5
Now,
We have to find that who solved the lesser part of exercise,
Or, we can say, we have to find smaller of 2/7 and 4/7
To find which number is greater or smaller,
Firstly we have to make their denominator equal.
For equaling denominator we have to take LCM of denominators.
Common denominator = LCM of 7 and 5
= 7 × 5
= 35
5 | 5 , 7
__|_______
7 | 1 , 7
__|_______
| 1 , 1
|
So,
2/7 = 2/7 × 5/5 = 10/35
4/5 = 4/5 × 7/7 = 28/35
Thus,
We can see that 10/35 < 28/35
i.e. 2/7 < 4/5
