\n" ); document.write( "Which is higher, 1 or 2? Of course 2 right?!
\n" ); document.write( "It's the same scenario, the greater the value, the higher the equivalent for fractions of the same \"cut out\"--- BOTH are \"minus 1\" before it gets perfect:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%2820-highlight%281%29%29%2F20=19%2F20\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%2828-highlight%281%29%29%2F28=27%2F28\"$
\n" ); document.write( "28 is higher than 20 right?
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore, 27/28 is greater.
