Answer:
12/17 is greater.
Step-by-step explanation:
To compare them we must take the LCM of the denominators and try to convert them into a form such that their denominators are same.
LCM(16,17) = 272.
Thus, the numbers becomes:
(7×17)/272 and (12×17)/272
i.e., 119/272 and 204/272
Thus, it is clear that 204/272 > 119/272
Therefore, 12/17 is greater.
