उत्तर
`11/16 underlinebb(<) 14/15`
Explanation:
In order to compare fractions with different denominators, we will convert them to like fractions.
LCM of 16 and 15
| 2 | 16, 15 |
| 2 | 8, 15 |
| 2 | 4, 15 |
| 2 | 2, 15 |
| 3 | 1, 15 |
| 5 | 1, 5 |
| 1, 1 |
∴ LCM of 16 and 15 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 5 = 240
Now, converting each of the given fractions to an equivalent fractions with denominators 240.
`(11 xx 15)/(16 xx 15) = 165/240` and `(14 xx 16)/(15 xx 16) = 224/240`
Clearly, `224/240 > 165/240`
∴ `11/16 < 14/15`
