Reduce your fraction and you will quickly be able to tell.
After this, please put a subject in the subject line.

You need to find the common denominator for these two fractions.

13/17 = 195/255
12/15 = 204/255
There may be a smaller number but I suggest you convert both fractions to ??/255, then compare them. For example, 13/17 = 195/255.
It is easiest to compare fractions when you have a common denominator. Just go ahead and multiply your denominators together and whichever numerator is bigger is the larger number.
13 x 15 = 195 (numerator)
17 x 15 = 255 (denominator)

12 x 17 = 204 (numerator)
15 x 17 = 255 (denominator)

So, which is larger 195/255 or 204/255?
12/15
