Exercise 10 Page 275

Now, let's do the same for the second number.

Next, we will compare these fractions. To compare fractions with different denominators, we should first find a common denominator. Since neither of the denominators is a factor of another, we will multiply the numerator and denominator of each fraction by the denominator of other. This will give us a common denominator.

Let's do the same for the second fraction.

Finally, we can make our comparison. Since 85 is more than 84, we know that the first value is more than the second value. 85/30 > 84/30 ⇔ 2 56 > 2.8 Let's draw it on a number line.
