Question

5/8< 3/8

Which comparison statement is NOT true?
4/6> 2/6
2/6 > 1/6
1/2<2/2

Answer 1

Answer: 5/8 < 3/8

=======================================================

Reason:

The denominators are both 8, so we can compare the numerators.

The statement 5 < 3 is false, so 5/8 < 3/8 is also false.

------------

Or you could use your calculator to see that:

• 5/8 = 0.625
• 3/8 = 0.375

Since 0.625 < 0.375 is false, this makes 5/8 < 3/8 to be false
