explain how you know 21/30 is greater than 2/3
Simple.
to figure out if they are either: equal, greater, or smaller...
First, find a common denominator...
\(\frac{21}{30}\)
and
\(\frac{2}{3} * \frac{10}{10} = \frac{20}{30}\)
Now, we can obviously make the assumption that \(\frac{21}{30}\) is greater than \(\frac{20}{30}\).
Thus, your answer.
if you do 2 X 10, it's 20.
if you do 3 X 10, it's 30.
so, the fraction would be 20/30, and with the denominators the same, now you can see that 21 is greater than 20.
hopes this helps (:
