What is the largest fraction in the group: [tex]\frac{5}{7}, \frac{13}{14},[/tex] or [tex]\frac{19}{21}?[/tex]

A. [tex]\frac{5}{7}[/tex]
B. [tex]\frac{13}{14}[/tex]
C. [tex]\frac{19}{21}[/tex]



Answer :

To determine the largest fraction among [tex]\(\frac{5}{7}\)[/tex], [tex]\(\frac{13}{14}\)[/tex], and [tex]\(\frac{19}{21}\)[/tex], we need to compare the decimal values of each fraction.

1. Calculate the decimal value for [tex]\(\frac{5}{7}\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ \frac{5}{7} \approx 0.7143 \][/tex]

2. Calculate the decimal value for [tex]\(\frac{13}{14}\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ \frac{13}{14} \approx 0.9286 \][/tex]

3. Calculate the decimal value for [tex]\(\frac{19}{21}\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ \frac{19}{21} \approx 0.9048 \][/tex]

Now, compare the decimal values calculated:
- [tex]\(\frac{5}{7} \approx 0.7143\)[/tex]
- [tex]\(\frac{13}{14} \approx 0.9286\)[/tex]
- [tex]\(\frac{19}{21} \approx 0.9048\)[/tex]

Among these, [tex]\(0.9286\)[/tex] is the largest decimal value, which corresponds to the fraction [tex]\(\frac{13}{14}\)[/tex].

Therefore, the largest fraction in the group is:
[tex]\[ \boxed{\frac{13}{14}} \][/tex]
