Use approximation to tell which fraction is greater 15/56 and 8/35
15/56 >15/60 which is 1/4
8/35 < 8/32 which is 1/4
To compare the fractions 15/56 and 8/35 using approximation, we can round each fraction to the nearest tenth or hundredth.
Let's round each fraction to the nearest hundredth:
15/56 ≈ 0.27
8/35 ≈ 0.23
From the approximations, we see that 0.27 is greater than 0.23. Therefore, we can conclude that 15/56 is greater than 8/35.
