Verify

Solution Steps

Divide 5 by 5 to get 1.

$$1=\frac{9}{72}+\frac{4}{6}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{9}{72} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 9.

$$1=\frac{1}{8}+\frac{4}{6}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{4}{6} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$1=\frac{1}{8}+\frac{2}{3}$$

Least common multiple of 8 and 3 is 24. Convert \frac{1}{8} and \frac{2}{3} to fractions with denominator 24.

$$1=\frac{3}{24}+\frac{16}{24}$$

Since \frac{3}{24} and \frac{16}{24} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$1=\frac{3+16}{24}$$

Add 3 and 16 to get 19.

$$1=\frac{19}{24}$$

Convert 1 to fraction \frac{24}{24}.

$$\frac{24}{24}=\frac{19}{24}$$

Compare \frac{24}{24} and \frac{19}{24}.
