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 10 and 20:
LCD = LCM(10, 20) = 20
Express the given fractions as equivalent fractions with respect to the LCD (20):
16 is less than 17 (16 < 17)
As a result,
8/10
and 17/20
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 10 and 20:
LCD = LCM(10, 20) = 20
Express the given fractions as equivalent fractions with respect to the LCD (20):
8/10
= 16/20
and 17/20
= 17/20
Since the equivalent fractions have common denominators, we can compare the numerators:16 is less than 17 (16 < 17)
As a result,
16/20
is less than 17/20
Therefore, 8/10
is less than 17/20
, 8/10
< 17/20
