Which fraction would fit between the 1/7 and 1/4?
A. 1 over 5
B. 2 over 7
C. 1 over 3
D. 1 over 8
It's not b or c.
1/7 = 0.143
1/4 = 0.25
1/3 = 0.333
You can solve this two ways.
My preferred way is to convert all the fractions into decimals by dividing the numerator by the denominator.
You can also change all the fractions to their equivalent fractions with a common denominator.
it's a
Yes. A is 0.20
To determine which fraction would fit between 1/7 and 1/4, we can compare the fractions by finding a common denominator.
To find a common denominator, we need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators, which in this case are 7 and 4.
Multiples of 7: 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, ...
Multiples of 4: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, ...
From the lists of multiples, we can see that the least common multiple (LCM) of 7 and 4 is 28.
Now, we can convert the fractions to have the same denominator of 28:
1/7 = (1/7) * (4/4) = 4/28
1/4 = (1/4) * (7/7) = 7/28
From this, we can see that the fraction that would fit between 1/7 and 1/4 is 5/28.
Answer: A. 1 over 5.
