Fill in the blanks to make the statement true.Between the numbers 15/20 and 35/40, the greater number is __________.

Answer»

The LCM of the denominators 20 and 40 is 40

∴ (15/20) = [(15×2)/ (20×2)] = (30/40)

and (35/40) = [(35×1)/ (40×1)] = (35/40)

Now, 30 < 35

⇒ (30/40) < (35/40)

Hence, (15/20) < (35/40)

∴ 35/40 is greater.

So, between the numbers (15/20) and (35/40), the greater number is (35/40).
