Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{1}{24,000}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

When we compare positive fractions with the same numerator, the largest rational number will be the fraction with the lowest denominator

In this problem we have

$\frac{1}{24,000}$  and   $\frac{1}{3,168,000}$

Both numerator are equal

Compare the denominators

$24,000 < 3,168,000$

therefore

$\frac{1}{24,000}$  is the largest rational number
