Answer 2

Hi!

a)

• 1/6 is smaller than 1/2.

• 4/7 is greater than 1/2.

• 1/6 is smaller than 4/7.

b)

• 5/9 is greater than 3/8.

Explanation:

If you are having problems doing the comparision, the best form to check if a number is greater or smaller than another, you can divide the fraction and obtain the decimal form.

Example:

1/6 ≅ 0.16.

4/7 ≅ 0.57.

1/2 = 0.50.

3/8 ≅ 0.37.

5/9 ≅ 0.55.

Now, you can replace the numbers and check again:

• 0.16 is smaller than 0.5.

• 4/7 is greater than 0.5.

• 0.16 is smaller than 0.57.

b)

• 0.55 is greater than 0.375.
