Question

Mark (✓) against the correct answer
Which of the following statements is true?

(a) $\frac{9}{16}=\frac{13}{24}$
(b) $\frac{9}{16}<\frac{13}{24}$
(c) $\frac{9}{16}>\frac{13}{24}$
(d) none of these

Answer 1

(c) $\frac{9}{16}$ > $\frac{13}{24}$
The two fraction are $\frac{9}{16}$ and $\frac{13}{24}$.
By cross multiplication, we have:
9 $\times$ 24 = 216 and 13 $\times$ 16 = 208
However, 216 > 208
∴ $\frac{9}{16}$ > $\frac{13}{24}$
