00:02 Let's start by finding the largest fraction.
00:13 First, multiply the first fraction by the second fraction's denominator to get a common base.
00:24 Now, multiply the second fraction by the first fraction's denominator.
00:33 With equal denominators, compare the numerators. The bigger one shows the larger fraction.
00:51 You can reduce the fraction by dividing by 2 to find a common base.
00:58 Both fractions are equal here.
01:03 Again, multiply the first fraction by the other’s bottom number for a common base.
01:10 Multiply the other fraction by the first one's denominator.
01:18 Remember, with equal bottoms, a larger top number is the larger fraction.
01:23 And this is how we solve the problem. Great job!

Step-by-step solution

To solve this problem, we will compare the given fractions to determine which is largest:

  • Compare 23 \frac{2}{3} and 711 \frac{7}{11} :

    • Cross multiply: 2×11=22 2 \times 11 = 22 and 3×7=21 3 \times 7 = 21 .
      Since 22>21 22 > 21 , 23 \frac{2}{3} is larger than 711 \frac{7}{11} .
  • Compare 23 \frac{2}{3} and 610 \frac{6}{10} :

    • Simplify 610=35 \frac{6}{10} = \frac{3}{5} .
      Cross multiply: 2×5=10 2 \times 5 = 10 and 3×3=9 3 \times 3 = 9 .
      Since 10>9 10 > 9 , 23 \frac{2}{3} is larger than 35 \frac{3}{5} (same as 610 \frac{6}{10} ).
  • To confirm, compare 23 \frac{2}{3} and 35 \frac{3}{5} again directly:

    • Cross multiply: 2×5=10 2 \times 5 = 10 and 3×3=9 3 \times 3 = 9 .
      Since 10>9 10 > 9 , 23 \frac{2}{3} is also larger than 35 \frac{3}{5} .

Therefore, the largest fraction of all given choices is indeed 23 \frac{2}{3} .
