Question

Which is greater out of 5 /7 and 9/14 and by how much

Answer 1

Answer:

5/7 is greater

Step-by-step explanation:

multiply 2 to each denominator & numerator in 5/7

it becomes 10/14thus 10/14 is greater than 9/14

Answer 2

$\frac{5}{7 } > \frac{9}{14} \\ by \\\frac{1}{14}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given  numbers are

$\frac{5}{7}$ and $\frac{9}{14}$

multiplying both the numbers with a number such that their denominator becomes same

therefore

$\frac{5}{7} \times \frac{2}{2} = \frac{10}{14} \\\frac{9}{14} \times \frac{1}{1} = \frac{9}{14}$

now it is observed that

$\frac{10}{14 } > \frac{9}{14} \\ i.e ,\\\frac{5}{7 } > \frac{9}{14}$

now,

$=\frac{10}{14} - \frac{9}{14} \\\\= \frac{10-9}{14}\\ = \frac{1}{14}$

hence

$\frac{5}{7 } > \frac{9}{14}$ by $\frac{1}{14}$
