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 8 and 16:
LCD = LCM(8, 16) = 16
Express the given fractions as equivalent fractions with respect to the LCD (16):
6 is less than 13 (6 < 13)
As a result,
3/8
and 13/16
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 8 and 16:
LCD = LCM(8, 16) = 16
Express the given fractions as equivalent fractions with respect to the LCD (16):
3/8
= 6/16
and 13/16
= 13/16
Since the equivalent fractions have common denominators, we can compare the numerators:6 is less than 13 (6 < 13)
As a result,
6/16
is less than 13/16
Therefore, 3/8
is less than 13/16
, 3/8
< 13/16
