Question

What is the difference between the
biggest fraction and smallest fraction
among 5/11, 1/2, 7/8, 6/13?​

Answer 1

Answer:

to find the biggest and smallest fraction we will change all fraction in equivalent fraction with same denominator

first we find LCM of 11,2,8,13

LCM(11,2,8,13)=1144

Now,5/11×104/104=520/1144

1/2×572/572=572/1144

7/8×143/143=1001/1144

6/13×88/88=528/1144

since, 520/1144<528/1144<572/1144<1001/1144

so,5/11<6/13<1/2<7/8

smallest fraction is 5/11

biggest faction is 7/8

the difference between the biggest fraction and the smallest fraction=7/8-5/11

=77-55/88

=22/88

=2/8

=1/4
