Which of the following fractions is the largest?

$\frac{2}{7}$
$\frac{2}{3}$
$\frac{7}{9}$
$\frac{7}{12}$
$\frac{3}{5}$

Solution:

Let's compare all the answers to

\frac{2}{7}

, unless we find a larger fraction.

\frac{2}{3}

is larger than

\frac{2}{7}

. For now,

\frac{2}{3}

is the right answer.

\frac{2}{3}

is also

\frac{6}{9}

and that is smaller than

\frac{7}{9}

. For now,

\frac{7}{9}

is the right answer.

\frac{7}{9}

is bigger than

\frac{7}{12}

.

Bring

\frac{3}{5}

and

\frac{7}{9}

to a common denominator.

\frac{7}{9}=\frac{35}{45}

and

\frac{3}{5}=\frac{27}{45}

.

\frac{7}{9}

is the largest fraction.
