Question

Which fraction is greater 48/12 Or 10/5

Answer 1

`(48)/(12)`

Explanation:

note that both these fractions may be simplified to whole numbers

`(48)/(12)` ( cancel both by dividing by LCM of 12 )

=
`(4)/(1)` = 4

`(10)/(5)` ( cancel both by dividing by LCM of 5 )

=
`(2)/(1)` = 2

now 4 > 2

thus
`(48)/(12)` is the greater fraction
