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?
Answered by keaghan black
3/4 correct?

If the largest fraction scales it down the most, wouldn't it be 3/2 which is 1 1/2?
