Solution :

We have to find the largest fraction in each group.

a). [tex]$\frac{5}{6}$[/tex] and [tex]$\frac{29}{36}$[/tex]

    [tex]$\frac{5}{6}$[/tex]  →  when we divide the number 5 with 6, we get 0.833

    [tex]$\frac{29}{36}$[/tex] → when we divide 29 by 36, we get the value 0.805

Therefore, in this group, [tex]$\frac{5}{6}$[/tex] is the largest fraction.

b).  [tex]$\frac{5}{12}$[/tex] and [tex]$\frac{3}{8}$[/tex]

     [tex]$\frac{5}{12}$[/tex]  →  when we divide the number 5 with 12, we get 0.416

    [tex]$\frac{3}{8}$[/tex] → when we divide 3 by 8, we get the value 0.375

Therefore, in this group, [tex]$\frac{5}{12}$[/tex] is the largest fraction.

c).  [tex]$\frac{2}{5}$[/tex] and [tex]$\frac{19}{45}$[/tex]

     [tex]$\frac{2}{5}$[/tex] →  when we divide the number 2 with 5, we get 0.40

    [tex]$\frac{19}{45}$[/tex] → when we divide 19 by 45, we get the value 0.42

Therefore, in this group, [tex]$\frac{19}{45}$[/tex] is the largest fraction.

d).  [tex]$\frac{5}{7}$[/tex], [tex]$\frac{13}{14}$[/tex] and  [tex]$\frac{19}{21}$[/tex]

      [tex]$\frac{5}{7}$[/tex] →  when we divide the number 5 with 7, we get 0.714

    [tex]$\frac{13}{14}$[/tex] → when we divide 13 by 14, we get the value 0.928

    [tex]$\frac{19}{21}$[/tex]  → when we divide 19 by 21, we get the value 0.904

Therefore, in this group, [tex]$\frac{13}{14}$[/tex]  is the largest fraction.
