Given : fractions 2/3 5/9 ,1/2 and 7/12
To Find : Largest fraction
a 2/3
b 5/9
c 7/12
d 1/2
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
correct option is a) 2/3
