Answer

(i) 511\dfrac{5}{11} and 37\dfrac{3}{7}

By cross multiplication,

5 × 7 = 35 and 11 × 3 = 33

Since 35 > 33, therefore, 511>37\dfrac{5}{11} \gt \dfrac{3}{7}.

Hence, 511>37\dfrac{5}{11} \gt \dfrac{3}{7}.

(ii) 815\dfrac{8}{15} and 35\dfrac{3}{5}

By cross multiplication,

8 × 5 = 40 and 15 × 3 = 45

Since 40 < 45, therefore, 815<35\dfrac{8}{15} \lt \dfrac{3}{5}.

Hence, 815<35\dfrac{8}{15} \lt \dfrac{3}{5}.

(iii) 1114\dfrac{11}{14} and 2935\dfrac{29}{35}

LCM of 14 and 35 = 70.

1114=11×514×5=55702935=29×235×2=5870\Rightarrow \dfrac{11}{14} = \dfrac{11 \times 5}{14 \times 5} = \dfrac{55}{70} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{29}{35} = \dfrac{29 \times 2}{35 \times 2} = \dfrac{58}{70}

As 55 < 58,

5570<58701114<2935\dfrac{55}{70} \lt \dfrac{58}{70} \Rightarrow \dfrac{11}{14} \lt \dfrac{29}{35}.

Hence, 1114<2935\dfrac{11}{14} \lt \dfrac{29}{35}.

(iv) 1327\dfrac{13}{27} and 1548\dfrac{15}{48}

By cross multiplication,

13 × 48 = 624 and 27 × 15 = 405

Since 624 > 405, therefore, 1327>1548\dfrac{13}{27} \gt \dfrac{15}{48}.

Hence, 1327>1548\dfrac{13}{27} \gt \dfrac{15}{48}.
