Question

Which is greater 2:5 or 3:4?​

Answer 1

Answer:

3:4

Step by step explanation:

Steps for comparing fractions:-

Find the least common denominator or LCM of the two denominators:

LCM of 4 and 5 is 20.

For the 1st fraction, since 4 × 5 = 20,

3/4 = 3 × 5/4 × 5 = 15/20

Likewise, for the 2nd fraction, since 5 × 4 = 20,

2/5 = 2 × 4/5 × 4 = 8/20

Since the denominators are now the same, the fraction with the bigger numerator is the greater fraction.

15/20 > 8/20

or

3/4 > 2/5
