suggest simplest way to compare strange fraction.

52 Views Asked by At

I am doing certain data-interpretation questions. In data-interpretation I am consistently encountering the percentage calculation. sometimes calculations are simple but most of the time they are time consuming mentally like inscribed below

$$ \frac{{\rm 84}}{{\rm 112}}\times 100\% =75\%$$ $$ \frac{{\rm 84}}{{\rm 107}}\times 100\% =78.5\%$$ $$ \frac{{\rm 63}}{{\rm 80}}\times 100\% =78.75\%$$ $$ \frac{{\rm 104}}{{\rm 131}}\times 100\% =79.39\%$$

In the above calculations , the percentage calculations takes too much time to calculate & come up with results mentally .

consider above two calculations or fractions which are

$$ \frac{{\rm 84}}{{\rm 112}}\times 100\% $$ $$ \&\& $$

$$ \frac{{\rm 84}}{{\rm 107}}\times 100\% $$

in this case we can immediately will says the $$ \frac{{\rm 84}}{{\rm 107}}\times 100\% $$ is maximum because of the denominator comparison.

but how to predict in the following cases or rest of the cases $$ \frac{{\rm 84}}{{\rm 107}}\times 100\% $$ $$ \frac{{\rm 63}}{{\rm 80}}\times 100\% $$ $$ \frac{{\rm 104}}{{\rm 131}}\times 100\% $$

how to say which is maximum or minimum.mentally without calculator?

Any suggestion will be welcome.
