Answer:

The inequality
(8)/(4)\:<(5)/(2)\: is true.

Explanation:

Given


(8)/(5)<(9)/(10)

FALSE

Reason: 8/5 or 1.6 is greater than 9/10 or 0.9


1>(6)/(5)

FALSE

Reason: 1 is smaller than 6/5 or (1.1)


(5)/(2)<2(1)/(2)

converting mixed number to improper fraction


(5)/(2)<(5)/(2)

FALSE

Reason: 5/2 can not be less than 5/2


(8)/(4)\:<(5)/(2)\:


2<(5)/(2)

TRUE

Reason: 2 is indeed smaller than 5/2 or 5.2 ∵ 5/2 = 2.5

Therefore, inequality
(8)/(4)\:<(5)/(2)\: is true.
