Question

The bus fare and train fare between two cities are given in the figure below. So, fare of the train fare of bus.

• A. =
• B. >
• C. <

Answer 1

The correct option is B >

Cost of train fare = $\$\frac{8}{11}$
Cost of bus fare = $\$\frac{8}{11}\times \frac{2}{3}$

To compare the two fares, we need to compare the two fractions.

A number when gets multiplied with another number which is less than 1, the product is always less than the original number.

$\because \frac{2}{3}<1$,
$so,\frac{8}{11}\times \frac{2}{3}<\frac{8}{11}$

∴ Cost of train fare > Cost of bus fare
