(15)  (2/3) = (6/9)  So (6/9) > (5/9)   ((6/9) is (1/9) greater than (5/9))    (16)  16(3/5) = 16,6  4(3/4) = 4,75  So, 16(3/5) > 4(3/4)

$$\left(\mathrm{15}\right) \\ $$$$\frac{\mathrm{2}}{\mathrm{3}}\:=\:\frac{\mathrm{6}}{\mathrm{9}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{So}\:\frac{\mathrm{6}}{\mathrm{9}}\:>\:\frac{\mathrm{5}}{\mathrm{9}}\:\:\:\left(\frac{\mathrm{6}}{\mathrm{9}}\:\mathrm{is}\:\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{9}}\:\mathrm{greater}\:\mathrm{than}\:\frac{\mathrm{5}}{\mathrm{9}}\right) \\ $$$$ \\ $$$$\left(\mathrm{16}\right) \\ $$$$\mathrm{16}\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{5}}\:=\:\mathrm{16},\mathrm{6} \\ $$$$\mathrm{4}\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{4}}\:=\:\mathrm{4},\mathrm{75} \\ $$$$\mathrm{So},\:\mathrm{16}\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{5}}\:>\:\mathrm{4}\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{4}} \\ $$

16(3/5)−4(3/4)=16((12)/(20))−4((15)/(20))=  =15((32)/(20))−4((15)/(20))=11((17)/(20))  16(3/5) is greater than 4(3/4) by 11((17)/(20))

$$\mathrm{16}\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{5}}−\mathrm{4}\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{4}}=\mathrm{16}\frac{\mathrm{12}}{\mathrm{20}}−\mathrm{4}\frac{\mathrm{15}}{\mathrm{20}}= \\ $$$$=\mathrm{15}\frac{\mathrm{32}}{\mathrm{20}}−\mathrm{4}\frac{\mathrm{15}}{\mathrm{20}}=\mathrm{11}\frac{\mathrm{17}}{\mathrm{20}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{16}\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{5}}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{greater}\:\mathrm{than}\:\mathrm{4}\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{4}}\:\mathrm{by}\:\mathrm{11}\frac{\mathrm{17}}{\mathrm{20}} \\ $$
