Question

Which fraction is larger `3/4, 8/12`?

Answer 1

`3/4`

Explanation:

To compare fractions they must have a `color(blue)"common denominator"`

`"To do this multiply the numerator and denominator of " 3/4" by 3 to create an equivalent fraction."`

That is : `3/4=(3xx3)/(4xx3)=9/12`

Now `9/12>8/12`

`"Hence " 3/4" is the larger fraction"`
