Show the working out for which is bigger 1/8 or 1/7

We can get a common denominator for both of the fractions and determine which one is greater by its numerator.

1*7/8*7 = 7/56

1*8/7*8 = 8/56

Now, 8 is bigger than 7, therefore, we found our answer.

Answer: 1/7 is bigger

U would have to put them into the same type of fraction, something they both go into.

7 and 8 both go into 56 so put them into that

1/7 - u have to time the 7 by 8 to get to 56 so do the same thing with the 1

1/8-u have to time the 8 by 7 to get to 56 so do the same thing with the 1

When done it should look like this:

1/7=8/56 and 1/8=7/56

so now u can see clearly which one is the answer

1/7
