Question

which is greatest 2/12 or 3/8

Answer 1

Answer:

4/24 < 9/24

Step-by-step explanation:

lcm of 8 and 12  = 24

(2/12) x 2 or (3/8) x 3

4/24 or 9/24

4/24 < 9/24

Answer 2

$lcm \: of \: 12 \: and \: 8 \: is \: 24 \\ \\ \frac{2}{12} = \frac{2 \times 2}{12 \times 2} = \frac{4}{24} \\ \\ \frac{3}{8} = \frac{3 \times 3}{8 \times 3} = \frac{9}{24} \\ \\ hence \: \frac{9}{24} or \: \frac{3}{8} \: is \: greater$
