Exercise 28 Page 290

In this exercise, we are given two fractions with different denominators. 7/8 ? 3/4To compare fractions with different denominators, we should first find a common denominator. Since 4 is a factor of 8, multiplying the numerator and denominator of 3 4 by 2 will give us a common denominator.

Finally, we can make our comparison. Since 7 is more than 7, we know that the first value is more than the second value. 7/8 > 6/8 ⇔ 7/8 > 3/4
