Which fraction is greater than - 5/16?

A. - 1/4

B. - 11/32

C. - 3/8

D. - 1/2

it' D!

16 is an odd number, so you immediately know whether 5/16 is bigger than half: half would be 8/16 (just divide 16 into two). 6 is smaller than 8, so 5/16 is smaller than half.

so 1/2, which is half, is bigger than this!
