<PRE><B>Question 109183</B>
Four buttons have diameters of 5/8 , 3/4  ,9/16  , and 7/8  inches. Which button is smallest? 
--------------------------------
Change the denominator of each of the fractions to 16:
5/8 = 10/16
3/4 = 12/16
9/16 = 9/16
7/8 = 14/16
---------------------------------------------------
Now you can compare the numbers because they all 
have the same denominators:
The smallest is 9/16
