Guys, not sure if this has been said before, but I noticed this mistake (at least it appears to me as a mistake) in the OE:

The fifth fraction has the biggest numerator, not the third. I hope this helps. Awesome job, by the way, guys!

Ans is E

I took a simple example
1/2 = 0.5
now add 2 to both numerator and denominator
3/4 = 0.75
now again add 2 to both numerator and denominator
5/6 = 0.83

so as the N and D increases the value also increases. So based on this hypothesis, E is the correct choice.

In each of the answer choices, the difference between the numerator and denominator is the same i.e 3. Hence the number with the largest numerator and largest denominator will be the highest.

To illustrate this point :

\frac{1}{2} = 0.5

\frac{9}{10} = 0.9

\frac{99}{100} = 0.99
