Answer 1

Hello There!

You need to find out which fraction is greater.

First, you need to solve 5/6 x 2 1/5
--------------------------------------------------------------

`Solving`
--------------------------------------------------------------

5 x 11 = 55
------------- ---- Simplified is 1 5/6
6 x 5 = 30
------------------------------------------------------------------
The LCD [ Least Common Denominator ] is 30.
so, 55/30 & 126/30

Therefore, 1 5/6 is less than 21/5

Hope this helped!
