Answer 2

how did you figure that out?

Answer 3

well you can use a calculator. but think of this way.
so 3/4 can be close to either 5/8 or 7/12
because 6/8 and 8/12 are both 3/4
so the one that would be more precise is the higher one. if you think of
300/401, that one is way higher and would be really reaaaaaaaaaaally close to 3/4. so when they're close like that pick the higher one. always verify with a calculator. 3/4 is 0.750 so you can find which one divides the closes to that answer.
