Question

Explain how you know that 7/12 is greater than 1/3 but less than 2/3?

Answer 1

convert all of these to a common denominator:
7/12 , 1/3 , 2/3
---
7/12 = 7/12
1/3 = 4/12
2/3 = 8/12
---
place into compound inequality:
---
(1/3=4/12) < (7/12=7/12) < (2/3=8/12)

Answer 2

You can put them into decimals.
7/12=0.58
1/3=0.33
2/3=0.66

(to find decimals divide the top number by the bottom)
