Question

The smallest of the fraction 2/3;4/7;8/11;5/9

Answer 1

Answer:

5/9

compare 2/3 and 4/7

change the denominator so they are the same

thus you should get:

14/21 and 12/21

we know that 12/21 is smaller so we cross out 14/21 (2/3)

now compare 4/7 and 8/11

repeat the same process

you should get:

44/77 and 56/77

44/77 is smaller so we cross out 56/77 (8/11)

now we compare 4/7 and 5/9 (the only fractions remaining)

repeat the same process

should get:

36/63 and 35/63

35/63 is smaller so this is our answer

(35/63 was originally 5/9)
