Answer:
16 / 17
Step-by-step explanation:
Given ---------
16 / 17
and
5 / 7
------------------
Take LCM of the denominators...
LCM (17, 7) = 119
------------------
Now,
( 16 × 7 ) / ( 17 × 7 ) = 112 / 119
and
( 5 × 17 ) / ( 7 × 17 ) = 85 / 119
------------------
Now compare, 112 / 119 and 85 / 119
Which is greater?
yes, you got it I think..
------------------
it is 112 / 119 > 85 / 119
so, 16 / 17 > 5 / 7
By SomeOneThere, hope you got it understandable
