5/9 > 7/16
Step-by-step explanation:
first find a common denomerator like 144
mult 7/16 by 9
and 5/9 by 16
get 63/144 vs 80/144
so 5/9 is greater than 7/16

Answer: No
Step-by-step explanation: Notice that the fractions that we're comparing in this problem have different denominators. When fractions have different denominators they're called unlike fractions.
To compare unlike fractions, we must first get a common denominator. The common denominator of 16 and 9 will be the least common multiple of 16 and 9 or 144.
To get a 144 in the denominator of 7/16, we multiply the numerator and the denominator by 9 which gives us 63/144. To get a 144 in the denominator of 5/9, we multiply the numerator and the denominator by 16 which gives us 80/144.
Notice that we now have like fractions since both fractions have a 144 in the denominator. To compare like fractions, we simply look at the numerators. Here, since 80 is greater than 63,
80/144 is greater than 63/144.
This means that 5/9 must be greater than 7/16.
