Question

Which of these fractions is greater than $\frac{5}{7}$?

• A. $\frac{1}{7}$
• B. $\frac{2}{7}$
• C. $\frac{4}{7}$
• D. $\frac{6}{7}$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $\frac{6}{7}$

All the denominators are same in the given fractions.

The greater the numerator, the greater the fraction for the fractions with same denominators and different numerators.

Here, we have to find the fraction greater than $\frac{5}{7}$, i.e., the numerator of the fraction should be greater than 5.

In the given options, we have only one option which has numerator greater that 5, i.e., $\frac{6}{7}$.

$\therefore$ $\frac{6}{7}$ is greater than $\frac{5}{7}$.
