Question

Which of the fraction is smallest 3/5, 1/5, 4/5, 2/3

Answer 1

Answer:

Please bear in mind that, by keeping the Numerator fixed and by increasing the Denominator the value of the fraction tends to decrease whereas by keeping the Denominator fixed and increasing the value of Numerator the fraction tends to increase.

So in this question, as we see three fractions have same Numerator, let's compare the three. Going by the above stated rule, 1/4<1/5<1/6.

Again we further observe, among 1/4 and 3/4, 3/4 > 1/4.

Hence the complete comparison is as :- 3/4> 1/4>1/5> 1/6.

Therefore, 1/6 is the smallest fraction.
