Question

Lobo had a rope. Its length was greater than $\frac{3}{5}m$. What could be the possible length of the rope?

• A. $\frac{6}{10}m$
• B. $\frac{8}{10}m$
• C. $\frac{1}{10}m$
• D. $\frac{4}{10}m$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $\frac{8}{10}m$

When comparing two unlike fractions, we need to convert the unlike fractions to like fractions and then compare the numerators.

Since all the fractions in the options have $10$ in the denominator, let's calculate the equivalent.
The equivalent fraction of $\frac{3}{5}$ with $10$ as the denominator.

$\frac{3\times 2}{5\times 2}=\frac{6}{10}m$

$\text{Here},\frac{8}{10}>\frac{6}{10}>\frac{4}{10}>\frac{1}{10}$

Out of the given options, only $\frac{8}{10}m$ is greater than the $\frac{6}{10}m.$

Hence, $\frac{8}{10}$ could be the possible length of the rope.
