Four banners cover 5/6, 7/9, 11/12 and 13/18 of a wall each (on identical walls). The decorator wants the banner that covers the greatest fraction of its wall. Which banner is it?

Question

Accepted Answer

11/12. LCM of 6, 9, 12, 18 is 36. 5/6 = 30/36, 7/9 = 28/36, 11/12 = 33/36, 13/18 = 26/36. Greatest is 33/36, so 11/12 covers the most.

Four banners cover $\frac{5}{6}, \frac{7}{9}, \frac{11}{12}$ and $\frac{13}{18}$ of a wall each (on identical walls).
