Question

Which fraction is greater 3/8 or 5/16 ?​

Answer 1

Answer: 3/8

Because:

when we have to find out the answer we should first

multiply first fraction with the anothers fractions denominator

SO:

3 * 16 =  48

8 * 16 =  128

Next:

Now you have to follow the same instructions by the second fraction

SO:

5 * 8 = 40

16 * 8 = 128

Now you can find which is greater and which is smaller

Final Answer 3/8(48/128) > 5/16(40/128)

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{3}{8}$ is larger than $\frac{5}{16}$

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the given data, we have to find that from the given fraction is greater,

Given fraction:-

$\frac{3}{8}$ and $\frac{5}{16}$

To find:- The greater fraction,

When fractions have the same denominator, they can be compared.

Now, calculate the LCM (least common denominator) of the two denominators:

$8$ and $16$

$=>\frac{3\times 2}{8\times 2}=\frac{6}{16}$

$=>\frac{5\times 1}{16 \times 1} =\frac{5}{16}$

Now, we have the same denominators

So by comparing them we get,

$=>\frac{6}{16}>\frac{5}{16}$

Hence, the greater fraction is $\frac{3}{8}$ than $\frac{5}{16}$
