Solution
Between the numbers `15/20` and `35/40`, the greater number is `underlinebb(35/40)`.
Explanation:
Given numbers are `15/20` and `35/40`.
LCM of 20 and 40 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 5 = 40
| 2 | 20, 40 |
| 2 | 10, 20 |
| 2 | 5, 10 |
| 5 | 5, 5 |
| 1, 1 |
Now, `15/20 = 15/20 xx 2/2` ....[On multiplying and dividing by 2]
= `30/40`
On comparing,
`35/40 > 30/40`
⇒ `35/40 > 15/20`
Hence, `35/40` is greater.
