Question

Which fraction is larger 7/16 or 51/100?

Answer 1

51/100 would be larger
From the first look, I already know half of 100 is fifty and 51 is greater than that
So when I looked at 7/16, I was looking for something greater than half, but 7 is greater than half of 16.
51/100 is your answer

Answer 2

When you convert the fraction 7/16 into a decimal number you get 0.4375. when you convert the fraction 51/100 into a decimal number,, you get the decimal 0.51. this tells us that the fraction 51/100 is the larger fraction. to solve this for next time,, simply divide the top number of your fraction by the bottom number of your fraction to get what the decimal of your fraction is. whichever decimal is closer to 1 would be the larger fraction.
