Jovany Carson · Answer 1

16/50

Step-by-step explanation:

The denominators of these two fractions differ, so we must find and use the LCD:

It is 50*30, or 150.

Then:

16/50 = 48/150, and 9/30 = 45/150.

Clearly, the first fraction is the bigger one: 16/50

Taylor Lamb · Answer 2

Find the common denominator.

16/50 is bigger

16/50 = 48/150

9/30 = 45/150
