Given Fractions:
Since the denominators are not common (not the same), we need to find the Least Common Denominator (LCD), which is equivalent to the Least Common Multiple of 3 and 8:
LCD = LCM(3, 8) = 24
Express the given fractions as equivalent fractions with respect to the LCD (24):
16 is greater than 9 (16 > 9)
As a result,
2/3
and 3/8
Since the denominators are not common (not the same), we need to find the Least Common Denominator (LCD), which is equivalent to the Least Common Multiple of 3 and 8:
LCD = LCM(3, 8) = 24
Express the given fractions as equivalent fractions with respect to the LCD (24):
2/3
= 16/24
and 3/8
= 9/24
Since the equivalent fractions have common denominators, we can compare the numerators:16 is greater than 9 (16 > 9)
As a result,
16/24
is greater than 9/24
Therefore, 2/3
is greater than 3/8
, 2/3
> 3/8
