Which is greater 57 over 100 or 5 over 9?

Answer 1

Convert to equivalent fractions with a common denominator and compare numerators:

57/100 = (57×9)/(100×9) = 513/900

5/9 = (5×100)/(9×100) = 500/900

513 > 500

→ 513/900 > 500/900

→ 57/100 > 5/9

------------------------------------------------------

Alternatively convert to decimals:

57/100 = 57 ÷ 100 = 0.57

5/9 = 5 ÷ 9 = 0.555....

0.57 > 0.555...

→ 57/100 > 5/9
