Question 704544: which is longer 6 3/4 or 6 3/8?

Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
3/4 = 6/8

so 6 3/4 is the same as 6 6/8

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
So the two lengths 6 3/4 and 6 3/8

is really the two lengths 6 6/8 and 6 3/8

Since 6/8 > 3/8 (6 is greater than 3), we can say that 6 6/8 is larger.

Therefore, the first length, 6 3/4 is larger.
