Question

This is a multiple step question

Answer 1

Explanation:

In this type of question , if the difference b/w the numerator and the denominator is 1 , then simply check the numerator . Whichever is big , it will be the larger .

In this question ,

`(8)/(9) \\(7)/(8) \\\\`

here , we can see that 9 - 8 = 1 & 8 - 7 = 1

∵ 8 > 7

∴
`(8)/(9) > (7)/(8)`

For common denominator , find its LCM : LCM(8,9) = 72

∴ Common denominator is 72 .
