Question

Rohit read $30$pages of a book containing 100 pages .Simmi read $\frac{2}{5}$ of the same book .who read more ?

Answer 1

Rohit read $30$ pages

Total number of pages $=100$

Fraction of pages read by Rohit

$$\begin{gathered} =\frac{30}{100} \\ =\frac{3}{10} \end{gathered}$$

Compare between two fraction $\frac{3}{10}\&\frac{2}{5}$

Take The LCM of $10\&5$

We get $10$

Multiply the same number in numerator in denominator so that Denominator will be $10$

$$\begin{gathered} \frac{3\times 1}{10\times 1}\&\frac{2\times 2}{5\times 2} \\ \frac{3}{10}\&\frac{4}{10} \end{gathered}$$

Greater the numerator greater will be the fraction

$\frac{4}{10}>\frac{3}{10}$

$\frac{2}{5}>\frac{3}{10}$
