$\frac{9}{17} \text { or } \frac{8}{15}$
✓
Answer
$\frac{9}{17} \text { or } \frac{8}{15} $
$\Rightarrow 9 \times 15 \text { or } 17 \times 8 $
$\Rightarrow 135 \text { or } 136$
Since, $135<136$
$\therefore \frac{8}{15}$ is smaller.
$\Rightarrow 9 \times 15 \text { or } 17 \times 8 $
$\Rightarrow 135 \text { or } 136$
Since, $135<136$
$\therefore \frac{8}{15}$ is smaller.
