what is larger  3/8  or  5/16

Sagot :

[tex] \frac{3}{8} ... \frac{5}{16} [/tex]

First, find the least common denominator between the two.
Since 8 is a factor of 16, the LCD is 16.

[tex] \frac{3*2}{8*2} [/tex]

[tex] \frac{3}{8}= \frac{6}{16} [/tex]

Now, you can compare the numerators.

[tex]6>5[/tex]

Since 6 is greater than 5, you know that [tex] \frac{6}{16} > \frac{5}{16} [/tex].

Therefore, we now know that [tex] \frac{3}{8} [/tex] is larger.
[tex]\frac{3}{8}=\frac{3\codt2}{8\cdot2}=\frac{6}{16} > \frac{5}{16}\\\\Answer:\frac{3}{8}\ is\ larger\ than\ \frac{5}{16}.[/tex]
