Is 9/10 greater than 5/6

2 Answers

Hi there!


To see which fraction is greater, I like to divide the numerator by the denominator of each of the fractions, and then see which decimal is larger. I'll show you what I mean. :)


9 ÷ 10 = 0.9, right? Set this answer aside.

5 ÷ 6 = 0.83


Now, we compare the two fractions. If you are having trouble setting them aside from one-another, multiply the decimals by 100 to see what your percent will be.


0.9 × 100 = 90

0.83 × 100 = 83


So, we now see that 9/10 was greater than 5/6. You were right!


Hope this helps! :D

Message me if you need anything else, I would be happy to help!

(9)/(10) =(54)/(60)

(5)/(6) =(50)/(60)


(54)/(60) \ \textgreater \ (50)/(60)

(9)/(10) \ \textgreater \ (5)/(6)
