Which of the following is the greatest number among the given rational numbers?(a) \(\frac{139}{26}\)(b) \(\frac{72}{21}\)(c) \(\frac{99}{36}\)(d) \(\frac{101}{20}\)The question was asked during an internship interview.This question is from Rational Numbers Between Two Rational Numbers in section Rational Numbers of Mathematics – Class 8

Answer»

Right choice is (a) \(\frac{139}{26}\)

The BEST I can explain: The numbers when PLACED on the number line, the number which is placed farthest from 0 is the greatest. Here the numbers are, \(\frac{139}{26}\) = 5.34

\(\frac{72}{21}\) = 3.42

\(\frac{99}{36}\) = 2.75

\(\frac{101}{20}\) = 5.05

So, we CONCLUDE that the greatest number is \(\frac{139}{26}\) and hence would be placed farthest from 0.
