Question

Compare $\frac{9}{16}\square \frac{13}{5}$

• A. =
• B. >
• C. <
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is C <

Given two fractions are $\frac{9}{16},\frac{13}{5}$
$L.C.M$ of $16,5$ is $16\times 5=80$

Making denominators same for the given fractions, we get :
$\frac{9\times 5}{16\times 5},\frac{13\times 16}{5\times 16}$
$=\frac{45}{80},\frac{208}{80}$
It can be observed that $208>45$
$\therefore \frac{9}{16}<\frac{13}{5}$
