Whats bigger 5/16, 1/2, 3/4, 5/8, 1/4

Answer 1

Hello!

Answer:

`\Large \boxed{\sf (3)/(4)}`

Explanation:

→ We want to find the bigger fraction:

`\sf (5)/(16) , (1)/(2) , (3)/(4) ,(5)/(8) , (1)/(4)`

→ To find the bigger fraction, let's convert the fractions on the same denominator:

`\sf (5)/(16) \\\\\\(1)/(2)= (1 * 8 )/(2* 8) = (8)/(16) \\\\\\(3)/(4)= (3 * 4 )/(4* 4) = (12)/(16) \\\\\\(5)/(8) = (5 * 2 )/(8* 2) = (10)/(16) \\\\\\(1)/(4) = (1 * 4 )/(4* 4) = (4)/(16)`

The bigger fraction is 12/16, so it's 3/4.

Conclusion:

The bigger fraction is 3/4.
