Nidhi covered 2/3 of her journey by car,1/5 by rickshaw,2/15 on foot. Find by which means she covered the major part of her journey?

Fraction of journey covered by car = 23Fraction of journey covered by autorickshaw = 15Fraction of journey covered on foot = 215Now, to find by which means she covered major part of journey, we will compare23, 15 and 215.At first, we will convert each of the given fraction into their equivalent fractions having same denominator.Now, LCM of 3, 5 and 15 = 30Now, 23 = 2 × 103 × 10 = 2030Now, 15 = 1 × 65 × 6 = 630Now, 215 = 2 × 215 × 2 = 430Now, 2030 > 630 >215So, 23 >15 > 215So, she covered major part of the journey by car.

Thanks Aarsh and Aarchita. Can you explain it in detail? Step by step procedure. That would help me to understand better.

distance she covered by car= 2/3
distance she covered by rickshaw= 1/5
distance she covered on foot= 2/15
majour distance she covered in the journey= 
lcm of 3, 5, 15 is 60
2/3*20=40/60
1/5*12=12/60
2/15*4=8/60
40+12+8/60
=52+8/60
=60/60
hence, she has completed her journey
