Question

Determine which fraction is larger 3/10 or 4/9 find a common denominator

Answer 1

Answer: 4/9

Explanation:

To find a common denominator we need to multiply the each term by a fractional form of 1 so they have the same denominators (bottom number).

`(3)/(10)*(9)/(9)=(27)/(90)`

`(4)/(9)*(10)/(10)=(40)/(90)`

Now we can tell which one is bigger because they share a denominator:

`(40)/(90) > (27)/(90)`
