Which fraction among 3/7, 4/11 and 5/8 is the smallest?1). 3/72). 4/113). 5/84). All are equal

Answer»

$(\frac{3}{7} = 0.4284,\frac{4}{{11}} = 0.3636,\frac{5}{8} = 0.625)$ 

So smallest is $(\frac{4}{{11}})$

It can also be solved by making the denominators equal

LCM of 7, 11 & 8 = 616

$(\frac{{264}}{{616}} = \frac{3}{7},\frac{{224}}{{616}} = \frac{4}{{11}},\frac{{385}}{{616}} = \frac{5}{8})$ 

When, based are equal, we can CLEARLY see.

$(\frac{{224}}{{616}})$ is the smallest i.e. $(\frac{4}{{11}})$
