Answer:

1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

1/3

1/5

3/10

2/12 = 1/6

The LCD is 30

1/3 = 10/30

1/5 = 6/30

3/10 = 9/30

2/12 = 1/6 = 5/30

Now we compare 10/30, 6/30, 9/30, and 5/30. Since all fractions have the same denominator, the fraction with the largest numerator is the largest. 10/30 has the largest numerator, so 10/30 is the greatest fraction corresponding to 1/3.

Answer: 1/3
