Marks: +1, -0
The largest of the fractions, 57,35,914\frac{5}{7},\frac{3}{5},\frac{9}{14} and 815\frac{8}{15} is ______
Solution:  
Concept:
To compare fractions and find the largest one, we can convert them to equivalent fractions with a common denominator.
Explanation:
We are given the fractions 57\frac{5}{7}, 35\frac{3}{5}, 914\frac{9}{14}, and 815\frac{8}{15}.
To compare them, we find the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of the denominators 7, 5, 14, and 15.
The LCM of 7, 5, 14, and 15 is 210.
Now, we convert each fraction to an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 210:
For 57\frac{5}{7}: Multiply numerator and denominator by 2107=30\frac{210}{7} = 30. So, 57=5×307×30=300210\frac{5}{7} = \frac{5 \times 30}{7 \times 30} = \frac{300}{210}.
For 35\frac{3}{5}: Multiply numerator and denominator by 2105=42\frac{210}{5} = 42. So, 35=3×425×42=126210\frac{3}{5} = \frac{3 \times 42}{5 \times 42} = \frac{126}{210}.
For 914\frac{9}{14}: Multiply numerator and denominator by 21014=15\frac{210}{14} = 15. So, 914=9×1514×15=135210\frac{9}{14} = \frac{9 \times 15}{14 \times 15} = \frac{135}{210}.
For 815\frac{8}{15}: Multiply numerator and denominator by 21015=14\frac{210}{15} = 14. So, 815=8×1415×14=112210\frac{8}{15} = \frac{8 \times 14}{15 \times 14} = \frac{112}{210}.
Now we compare the numerators: 300, 126, 135, and 112.
The largest numerator is 300, which corresponds to the fraction 57\frac{5}{7}.
Answer:
The largest fraction is 57\frac{5}{7}.
The correct option is A.
