Answer:
5/7
Step-by-step explanation:
An easy way to find the biggest fraction is to divide the numerator by the dominator to turn it into a decimal, a more complexed way would be to do much more work and turn all fractions into having the same dominator
5/7 = 0.714
2/12 = 0.166
15/40 = 0.375
8/20 = 0.4
Answer:
5/7 is the largest
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]\frac{5}{7}[/tex] is the largest fraction because it is the closest to the denominator 7. Think of it as a pizza that for some reason is cut into seven pieces, if you ate 5 pieces you ate most of the pizza. However if you cut this pizza into 12 slices and only ate 2 well you almost didn't eat much and you can continue this idea of pizza for 15/40 and 8/20.
You can also divide these numbers to see the fraction as decimals but it's not necessary.
