trying to help my son with his math …have no idea about this.. could someone explain it to me?
Ms. Sue
The largest fraction scales it down the most.

We can eliminate 8/5 because that's more than 1.

Change all of the fractions to their equivalents with a common denominator of 16.

5/8 = 10/16
3/4 = 12/16

Which is the fraction with the highest numerator?
3/4 correct?
Ms. Sue
Right.
thank you very much , Have a great Hoilday
Ms. Sue
Thanks. And I hope you have a wonderful holiday, too.
If the largest fraction scales it down the most, wouldn't it be 3/2 which is 1 1/2?
