times the whole by the bottom number and add the top to the numberator of the new number.

Hulu:

so our first number would be 65/12

Hulu:

and the second number would be 62/11

Hulu:

compare.

KjSaif:

If you look at it 7/11 is closer to a whole then 5/12.

TETSXPREME:

so first one 65?

KjSaif:

that being said would give you the idea that \[5 \frac{ 7 }{ 11 }\] is greater then \[5 \frac{ 5 }{ 12 }\]

KjSaif:

tet imagine a pie chart.

KjSaif:

with 12 slices in one pie and 11 in another pie.

TETSXPREME:

12x11?= 132?

KjSaif:

uh not quite lol. lets go back to the looking at the fraction

JamesTDG:

just convert the fractions into decimals and you are good to go

KjSaif:
