Question

Which statement correctly compares and ? A.1/20<5/9 B.11/20 >5/9 C.11/20=5/9

Answer 1

A) 1/20 < 5/9.

Reason:

1/20 = 0.05 and 5/9 = 0.5555 repeat. So 1/20 is clearly less than 5/9. A is true.

11/20 = 0.55 which is not greater than 5/9, it's less. B is false.

11/20 does not equal 5/9 as the repeating value is larger. C is false.

Answer 2

A 1/20=0.5 5/9= 0.55555
