Answer 2

Find Least Common Multiple (LCM) of all denominators.

LCM of 15 and 31 = 465

22 / 15 < 14 / 31

22 ∙ 31 / 15 ∙ 31 < 14 ∙ 15 / 31 ∙ 15

682 / 465 < 210 / 465

False


LCM of 35 and 19 = 665

19 / 35 > 27 /19

19 ∙ 19 / 35 ∙ 19 > 27 ∙ 35 / 19 ∙ 35

361 / 665 > 945 / 665

False


LCM of 25 and 44 = 1100

15 / 25 > 22 / 44

15 ∙ 44 / 25 ∙ 44 > 22 ∙ 25 / 44 ∙ 25

660 / 1100 > 550 / 1100

True


LCM of 25 and 30 = 150

30 / 25 < 29 / 30

30 ∙ 6 / 25 ∙ 6 < 29 ∙ 5 / 30 ∙ 5

180 / 150 < 145 / 150

False
