Answer:
To compare fractions 15/8 and 12/7
In order to comapare any two fractions, the denomiator of the two fractions must be same.
For the given fractions denominators are different.
To make the denomiator of the given fractions same, find the LCM of the denominators.
LCM of 8,7: 56
The fractions become,
[tex]\frac{15}{8}=\frac{15\times7}{8\times7}=\frac{105}{56}[/tex][tex]\frac{12}{7}=\frac{12\times8}{7\times8}=\frac{96}{56}[/tex]we get that,
[tex]\frac{105}{56}>\frac{96}{56}[/tex]we get,
[tex]\frac{15}{8}>\frac{12}{7}[/tex]15/8 is greater than 12/7.
Answer is: 15/8 is greater than 12/7
