下列哪一个最大？

Which of the following is the largest?

$\dfrac{1}{3}$

$\dfrac{1}{4}$

$\dfrac{3}{8}$

$\dfrac{5}{12}$

$\dfrac{7}{24}$

知识点：分数

通分到分母 $24$ ，这些分数分别是 $\dfrac{8}{24}, \dfrac{6}{24}, \dfrac{9}{24}, \dfrac{10}{24}$ 和 $\dfrac{7}{24}$ 。

最大的分子是 $10$ ，所以 $\dfrac{5}{12} = \dfrac{10}{24}$ 最大。

所以正确答案是 D。

Over the common denominator $24$ , the fractions are $\dfrac{8}{24}, \dfrac{6}{24}, \dfrac{9}{24}, \dfrac{10}{24},$ and $\dfrac{7}{24}.$

The largest numerator is $10$ , so $\dfrac{5}{12} = \dfrac{10}{24}$ is the largest.

Thus, the correct answer is D .
