Question

Select the fraction(s) which is/are greater than $\frac{5}{13}.$

• A. $\frac{3}{13}$
• B. $\frac{7}{13}$
• C. $\frac{9}{13}$
• D. $\frac{1}{13}$

Answer 1

Answer: (B), (C)

$\frac{9}{13}$

When fractions have the same denominator, then the largest fraction is the one with the largest numerator.

Let's compare the fractions $\frac{5}{13},\frac{3}{13},\frac{7}{13},\frac{9}{13},$ and $\frac{1}{13}.$

All the fractions have the same denominators.

So, just compare the numerators 5, 3, 7, 9 and 1.

Since $9>7>5>3>1$
$\therefore \frac{9}{13}>\frac{7}{13}>\frac{5}{13}>\frac{3}{13}>\frac{1}{13}$

So, the fractions $\frac{9}{13}$ and $\frac{7}{13}$ are greater than $\frac{5}{13}.$
