Answer (3)
7/10=0.7
3/4=0.75
7/10 is closest to 3/4 as I showed it above.
2/3=0.67
3/5=0.6
13/20=0.65
All these 3 are not that close to 3/4
HOPE THIS HELPS!!!!!
Let's start by finding a common denominator for all of these fractions. In this case, we will use 60. 3/4 = 45/60 2/3 = 40/60 3/5 = 36/60 7/10 = 42/60 13/20 = 39/60
The closest to 45/60 is 42/60/ Therefore, 7/10 is the closest to 3/4
The fraction closest to 4 3 is 10 7 since it converts to 60 42 , which is nearest to 60 45 . Thus, the correct choice is C. 10 7 .
