Identify the small fraction number given below:
\$(20)/(31), (18)/7, (13)/(33), (43)/(38)\$.

Step: 1

First, we have to find the decimal value for each fraction:
\$(20)/(31) = 0.645 \$
\$ (18)/7 = 2.571 \$
\$ (13)/(33) = 0.393 \$
\$ (43)/(38) = 1.131 \$

Explanation:

In this step, we have to find the decimal number for each fraction.

Step: 2

Now the decimal values are 0.645, 2.571, 0.393, and 1.131.
The smallest fraction is \$(13)/(33)\$ because its decimal value is 0.393.

Explanation:

we convert fractions to decimals, which are 0.645, 2.571, 0.393, and 1.131.
Here, the smallest fraction is \$(13)/(33)\$.
