Question

which of the following fraction is greatest 3/7, 5/6, 2/3, 3/5​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:Do long division (paper and pencil). 7/8 will be the greatest value based upon place value.

7/8 = 0.875

5/6 = 0.833 …

5/24 = 0.208 333 …

4/7 = 0.571 482 …

3/8 = 0.375

The 7/8 fraction wins over 5/6 in the hundredths column. 7 hundredths is greater than 3 hundredths.

or

We can also turn each into fractions with a common denominator. A common denominator between fractions with denominators 7, 8, 24, and 6 is 144.

7/8 = 147/168

5/6 = 140/168

5/24 = 35/168

4/7 = 96/168

3/8 = 63/168

Then compare the numerators (tops) of each fraction. Greatest numerator implies the greatest overall fraction. 147 is greater than 140 in the two larger fractions. Therefore, 7/8 is the greatest fraction.
