Answer 1

Given data:

• The given fractions are 1/15 and 1/14

To find: the bigger fraction

Method.

• Let us understand the process in simple words:
• 1. Find lcm of the denominators
• 2. Equate the denominators of the given fractions with the lcm, just found.
• 3. In order to find an equivalent fraction, you must find the equivalent numerator denominator for the specific fraction.
• 4. From the newly found numerators, you can say which fraction is the bigger one.

SOLUTION:

The given fractions are, 1/15 and 1/14.

The lcm of 15 and 14 is 210

1/15 = (1 × 14)/(15 × 14) = 14/210

1/14 = (1 × 15)/(14 × 15) = 15/210

Here, 15/210 > 14/210.

Therefore, 1/14 > 1/15

Answer: 1/14 is the bigger fraction.
