Asked by Enis

How do I break these down to find out which one is the largest without using a calculator their fraction.

a. 13,579 + 1/2468

b. 13,579 - 1/2468

c. 13,579 * 1/2468

d. 13,579/
2468
Answered by Damon
a is bigger than b and bigger than 13,579 because of the + sign

c and d are smaller than 13,579 because 13,579 is divided by something bigger than 1

Thanks Damon have a great Sunday
Answered by Enis
well Damon I did it over and I think that D is the largest not a. because even though you're adding D answer comes out bigger.

I have a feeling that you should have had brackets around the top to have
(13579 + 1)/2468
(13579 - 1)/2468
(13579 * 1)/2468
(13579)/2468

in every case we divide by 2468 , so the largest answer is obtained when the numerator is the largest.

so clearly A is the correct answer.
