How to solve which fraction is larger 10/13 or 11/14 or 14/15 or 17/18

Answer 1

To solve these type of problem you have to make the denominator the same or use the claculator.

let us do this problem by making the denominator the same.


`(10)/(13) \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (11)/(14) \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (14)/(15) \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (17)/(18) \\\\ (10)/(13)* (3780)/(3780) \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (11)/(14) * (3510)/(3510) \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (14)/(15) * (3276)/(3276) \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (17)/(18) * (2730)/(2730)`


`(37800)/(49140) \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (38610)/(49140) \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (45864)/(49140) \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (46410)/(49140)`

So, now. the one with the largest numerator is the largest fraction

In this case,
`(46410)/(49140)` is the largest which is equal to
`(17)/(18)`.

So, the largest fraction is
`(17)/(18)`.
