Question

Medal if you help me. How would I explain the steps you would use to compare four-fifteenths and five-sixths.

Answer 1

well.... one easy way to do such is make both the same denominator

how? well say multiplying each fraction by the OTHER'S denominator \(\bf \cfrac{4}{\color{blue}{15}}\times\color{red}{ 6}\qquad \cfrac{5}{\color{red}{6}}\times \color{blue}{15}\)

Answer 2

hmmm ahemm... lemme redo that...

Answer 3

how? well say multiplying each fraction by the OTHER'S denominator \(\bf \cfrac{4}{15}\times \cfrac{6}{6}\qquad \cfrac{5}{6}\times \cfrac{15}{15}\)

Answer 4

like so, once you do that, you'd end up with the same proportional denominator

Answer 5

well. if you multiply those 2 fractions, what do you get for both?

Answer 6

well, can't write what you wouldn't understand
