To know the greatest of the given fractions, we have divide the numerator with the given denominator. That gives an approximate value.
Compare the approximate values of the fractions and determine the greatest among them.
51/2=(50/2)+(1/2)=25+0.5=25.5
111/3=37
1231/6=(1230/6)+(1/6)=25+0.1667=25.1667
When we compare the resulting values, it is clear that 37 is the greatest resulting value.
So,111/3 is the greatest.

So,111/3 is the greatest.
Golda:
Your answer is wrong because correct value of 1231/6 is 205 + 0.1667 i= 205.1667, but you have written 25 + 0.1667 = 25.1667. Which is totally wrong.
oh i am sorry. thank you for correcting me golda

Solution:-
For finding out the greatest of these three fractions, we have to convert these into like fractions with same denominators.
51/2 ; 111/3 ; 1231/6
Taking L.C.M. of the three denominators and solving it, we get.
51/2 ; 111/3 ; 1231/6
(51*3) ; (111*2) ; (1231*1)
