Answer 2

See answer below

Explanation:

Given the expressions

8 × 1/9, 4 × 4/5, 6 × 1/5, 9 × 1/2, 1 × 2/5, 9 × 1/9

We are to check which is less than 1, equal to 1 and greater than 1

For 8×1/9

8×1/9 = 8/9

8/9 = 0.889<1

Hence 8/9 is less than 1

For 4 × 4/5

4 × 4/5 = 16/5

16/5 = 3 1/5

3 1/5 =3.2>1

Hence 4 4/5 is greater than 1

For 6×1/5;

6×1/5 = 6/5

6/5 = 1.2 >1

Hence 6×1/5 is greater than 1

For 9 × 1/2:

9 × 1/2 = 9/2

9/2 = 4.5>1

Hence 9× 1/2 is greater than 1

For 1×2/5;

1×2/5 = 2/5

2/5 = 0.4<1

Hence 1×2/5 is less than 1

For 9×1/9

9×1/9 = 9/9

9/9 = 1

Hence 9×1/9 is equal to 1
