Question

Which inequality is true? o 8/5 < 9/10. o 1 > 6/5. o 5/2 < 2 1/2. o 8/4 < 5/1

Answer 1

The first inequality is false:

`(8)/(5)<(9)/(10)`

Mainly because 9/10 is less than 1, and 8/5 is greater than 1.

The second inequality is false:

`1>(6)/(5)`

Because 6/5 is greater than 1.

The third inequality is false:

`(5)/(2)<2(1)/(2)`

Because these numbers are equal to 2.5.

The fourth inequality is true:
`(8)/(4)<(5)/(1)`

Because 8/4 is equal to 2, which is less than 5.
