Find the LCD (15) and change the fractions to: 10/15 and 12/15. compare the numerators, 12 is greater, so **4/5** is greatest

The best thing to do is either to find a common denominator or convert them to decimals.
I will find a common denominator.
A common denominator of 3 and 5 is 15.
You multiply the first fraction by 5
2*5= 10
This then becomes 10/15
You then multiply the second by 3.
4*3= 12
Therefore, this becomes 12/15
As the second of these fractions is larger, this means that 4/5 is larger.
The alternative method is to put them into decimals, in which case 2/3= 0.66 and 4/5= 0.8
Hope this helps :)

Option C

The ratio for the volumes of two similar cylinders is 8 : 27

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Let there are two cylinder of heights "h" and "H"

Also radius to be "r" and "R"

$\text { Volume of a cylinder }=\pi r^{2} h$

Where π = 3.14 , r is the radius and h is the height

Now the ratio of their heights and radii is 2:3 .i.e

$\frac{\mathrm{r}}{R}=\frac{\mathrm{h}}{H}=\frac{2}{3}$

<em><u>Ratio for the volumes of two cylinders</u></em>

$\frac{\text {Volume of cylinder } 1}{\text {Volume of cylinder } 2}=\frac{\pi r^{2} h}{\pi R^{2} H}$

Cancelling the common terms, we get

$\frac{\text {Volume of cylinder } 1}{\text {Volume of cylinder } 2}=\left(\frac{\mathrm{r}}{R}\right)^{2} \times\left(\frac{\mathrm{h}}{\mathrm{H}}\right)$
