Use the LCD to determine which fraction is greater.
$\frac{7}{8}, \frac{5}{6}$

Short Answer

Expert verified

The fraction $\frac{7}{8}$ is greater than fraction $\frac{5}{6}$ .

Step by step solution

Step 1. Given information

Consider, the fraction $\frac{7}{8}, \frac{5}{6}$ provided in the question

Step 2. Calculation

To evaluate the greater fraction in $\frac{7}{8}, \frac{5}{6}$ , it is needed to calculate the least common multiple of 8,6.

Therefore, the least common multiple of 8,6 is 24 and this will be least common denominator of fraction $\frac{7}{8}, \frac{5}{6}$

Make equivalent fraction of each fraction by least common denominator

$\begin{array}{l} \frac{7}{8} = \frac{7 脳 3}{8 脳 3} 鈥夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌�; \frac{5}{6} = \frac{5 脳 4}{6 脳 4} \\ \frac{7}{8} = \frac{21}{24} 鈥嬧€嬧€嬧€嬧€嬧€嬧€嬧€夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆赌夆€夆€夆€夆€�; \frac{5}{6} = \frac{20}{24} \end{array}$

As the equivalent fractional of $\frac{7}{8}, \frac{5}{6}$ have same denominator so compare the numerator

$21 > 20$

$\frac{7}{8} > \frac{5}{6}$

Hence, the fraction $\frac{7}{8}$ is greater than fraction $\frac{5}{6}$ .
