Question 83 (i)

Which is greater in the following?
$\frac{3}{4},\frac{7}{8}$

Answer 1

Given rational numbers are $\frac{3}{4}$ and $\frac{7}{8}$

Making the denominators same
Here,$\frac{3}{4}=\frac{3\times 2}{4\times 2}=\frac{6}{8}and\frac{7}{8}=\frac{7\times 1}{8\times 1}=\frac{7}{8}$
So, $\frac{7}{8}>\frac{3}{4}$
Hence, the greater number is $\frac{7}{8}$
