Answer:

We have:

5/12<__<3/4

To complete the blank, we need to find a number that is larger than 5/12, but smaller than 3/4.

This is ratter easy, the first step would be to write both limits with the same denominator.

we can rewrite the upper one as:

3/4 = (3/3)*(3/4) = 9/12

Where we multiplied the numerator and denominator by the same number, 3.

Now we have:

5/12 < < 9/12

Then in the blank, we could input any number like:

5/12 + 1/12 = 6/12

6/12 is larger than 5/12, but smaller than 9/12

We also could use 7/12, or 8/12.

And those are the ones easy to find, actually, there are infinite numbers that can fill the blank.

Then to complete the answer we will write:

5/12 > 6/12 > 9/12
