fruit. Which purchase was made by a greater fraction of customers?

Answer :

Answer:

3/4. That is vegetables

Step by Step:

u need not be confused in this coz

let's take this practically;

you buy a cake and cut it into 4

you take a piece of it for yourself

you take the same cake and cut it into 6 pieces

and take a piece for yourself

see for yourself which is bigger eventho it's just one piece from each cake the 1 in 4 pieces would be bigger

Therefore wherever the denominator is lesser in a proper fraction it is the greater one

The customers bought fruit in the supermarket  is greater fraction of customer.

What is fraction?

A fraction is a number that represents a part of a whole. It consists of a numerator and a denominator. The numerator represents the number of equal parts of a whole, while the denominator is the total number of parts that make up said whole.

According to the question

A supermarket found that customers bought vegetables = 3/4

A supermarket found that customers bought fruit = 5/6

purchase was made by a greater fraction of customers

To check which fraction is greater  

Step1: Take L.C.M of both the fraction's denominator

[tex]\frac{3}{4} , \frac{5}{6}[/tex]

L.C.M of 4, 6 = 12

Step2: Multiply the numerator and denominator to make denominator equal to L.C.M

i.e

[tex]\frac{3*3}{4*3} , \frac{5*2}{6*2}[/tex]  

[tex]\frac{9}{12} , \frac{10}{12}[/tex]  

Step3: Compare both fractions

[tex]\frac{9}{12} < \frac{10}{12}[/tex]  

Hence, the customers bought fruit in the supermarket  is greater fraction of customer.
