Question

Hello! I'm currently studying in order to take the Military ASVAB test using my book at the moment, and I need a little bit of help with this question. (Thank you in advance!)(Also I really need the short process for this equation, in order to get to the answer please, because this is not for class work.)

Answer 1

To compare the fractions we can convert each of them to its decimal form, we do this by making the quotient. Then we have:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{2}{3}=0.66\bar{6} \\ \frac{5}{8}=0.625 \\ \frac{11}{16}=0.6875 \\ \frac{3}{4}=0.75 \end{gathered}$

Now that we have each of them in decimal form we can compare them; doing this we conclude that the largest fraction is 3/4
