Answer:

1 1/6 = 1
5/9 = 45/99

Explanation:

When rounding, make sure that anything that's above half will be rounded up if anything is below half it will be rounded down.
e.g. Round to the nearest half or whole

1. 5/9
Answer: 45/99

2. 8/10
Answer: 10/10 or 1
Why: 8/10 is 2 units from 10 while 8/10 is 3 units from 5
