Why can you compare 2 fractions with the same denominator by only compare the numerator?

If two fractions have the same [positive] denominator, then the smaller numerator implies the smaller fraction. Furthermore, the ratio of the numerators is the ratio of the fractions. So, for example, if you have 3/17 and 5/17 then, since 3 < 5, it follows that 3/17 < 5/17 and the two fractions are in the ratio 3:5. That is, the first fraction is 3/5 of the second. All of the above remains true if you replace 17 by any other positive number (including an irrational number).

Find the sum of an arithmetic progression of seventeen terms whose middle term is 5?

85 (=17*5). The middle term is 5. There are 8 terms bigger than 5 and 8 smaller. The term smaller than 5 and next to it is 5 - r The term bigger than 5 and next to it is 5 + r So these two average 5. Similarly, the next pair outwards average 5; and so on. So the sum of the progression is equivalent to the sum of 8 pairs of numbers whose average is 5 and the middle term which is 5 ie 17 lots of 5.
