Question

The smallest of the fractions 3/4, 2/4, 5/4, and 7/4 is

Answer 1

Given: The fractions  $\frac{3}{4},\frac{2}{4},\frac{5}{4},\frac{7}{4}$ are given.

To find: The smallest fraction from the given set.

Solution:

The general rule of finding out the smallest fraction from a list of fractions is making the denominator of every fraction equal so that they can be compared using the numerator.

In the question, the denominators are all equal that is $4$. On carefully observing we can see that the smallest fraction is $\frac{2}{4}$

If we convert the denominator to a greater number such as $24$,

$\frac{3}{4}=\frac{3*6}{4*6}=\frac{18}{24}$

$\frac{2}{4}=\frac{2*6}{4*6}=\frac{12}{24}$

$\frac{5}{4}=\frac{5*6}{4*6}=\frac{30}{24}$

$\frac{7}{4}=\frac{7*6}{4*6}=\frac{42}{24}$

We can see that $\frac{12}{24}$ is the smallest one after converting every fraction into its equivalent fractions.

Final answer:

The smallest fraction of the given set of fractions is $\frac{2}{4}$.

Answer 2

$\frac{2}{4}$.

Step-by-step explanation:

• To find the smallest fraction, First we have to check the numbers given having same.
•   Denominator (or) Not.

•  If it is similar in Nation, then the smallest fraction is identified by     seeing  the numerator.

•  By this $\frac{3}{4}$ , $\frac{2}{4}$ , $\frac{5}{4}$ and $\frac{7}{4}$ has the same denominator in nature (i.e.). 4
•  Since the smallest numerator is 2.
•  Therefore the smallest fraction  from the numbers  
•   $\frac{3}{4}$, $\frac{2}{4}$, $\frac{5}{4}$ And $\frac{7}{4}$ is $\frac{2}{4}$.
