Transcript text: Order $\frac{4}{5}-\frac{10}{3}$ using $<$ or $>$.
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Convert Fractions to a Common Denominator
To compare the fractions \(\frac{4}{5}\) and \(\frac{10}{3}\), we first need to convert them to a common denominator. The least common multiple of 5 and 3 is 15.
Convert \(\frac{4}{5}\) to a fraction with a denominator of 15:
\[
\frac{4}{5} = \frac{4 \times 3}{5 \times 3} = \frac{12}{15}
\]
Convert \(\frac{10}{3}\) to a fraction with a denominator of 15:
\[
\frac{10}{3} = \frac{10 \times 5}{3 \times 5} = \frac{50}{15}
\]
Step 2: Compare the Numerators
Now that both fractions have the same denominator, compare their numerators:
\(\frac{12}{15}\) has a numerator of 12.
\(\frac{50}{15}\) has a numerator of 50.
Since 12 is less than 50, we have:
\[
\frac{12}{15} < \frac{50}{15}
\]
