Answer 2

Given :  fractions 2/3  5/9  ,1/2 and 7/12

To Find : Largest fraction

Solution:

create equivalent fractions :

By dividing or multiplying the numerator and denominator of a given fraction by the same number except zero

a/ b  = ak/bk      k ≠ 0

a/b  = (a/k) / (b/k)   k ≠ 0

2/3   = 2 * 12 / (3 * 12)  =  24/ 36

5/9   =  5 * 4 / (9 * 4)  = 20/36

1/2     = 1 * 18 / (2 * 18)  = 18/36

7/12  =  7 * 3 / (12 * 3)  = 21 /36

Now Denominator is same as 36

Hence numerators can be compared directly

24 > 21 > 20 > 18

=> 24/36 > 21/36  > 20/36 >  18/36

=> 2/3  >  7/12  >  5/9 > 1/2

largest of the fraction is 2/3
