What is more 7 7/9 or 7 4/5?

bezimeni [28]

First, turn the mixed numbers into improper fractions.

7 7/9 = 70/9

7 4/5 = 39/5

Second, find common denominators.

70/9 = 350/45

39/5 = 351/45

351/45 > 350/45

Therefore, 7 4/5 is greater.

Best of Luck!

In order to receive a b in your english class, you must earn more than 350 points of reading credits. last week you earned 120 p

Vlada [557]

120 + 90 = 210 points
350 - 210 = 140 OR
351 - 210 = 141 (if it must be more than 350, you need <em>at least </em>351 points total, or 141 more points, to get a grade B)
