Question

Please help me!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let's turn each mixed fraction into an improper fraction.

`1 (1)/(4) = (4)/(4) + (1)/(4) = (5)/(4)`

`2 (1)/(5) = (5)/(5) + (5)/(5) + (1)/(5) = (11)/(5)`

We'll use 11/5 twice.

Multiply:

`(5)/(4) * (11)/(5) = (55)/(20)`

`(55)/(20) = (20)/(20) + (20)/(20) + (15)/(20) = 2 (15 / 5)/(20 / 5) = 2 (3)/(4)`

Multiply the Second problem:

`(5)/(6)*(11)/(5)=(55)/(30)`

`(55)/(30) =(30)/(30) +(25)/(30)= 1 (25 / 5)/(30 / 5) = 1 (5)/(6)`

Compare:

`2 (3)/(4) > 1(5)/(6)`

2 3/4 is greater, we can identify this a few ways:

• Decimals, 2 3/4 equals 2.75 while 1 5/6 equals 1.83
• Whole numbers, 2 is greater than 1.
• Improper fractions, 2 3/4 as an improper fraction is 11/4 while 1 5/6 as an improper fraction is 11/6.

Therefore, your answer is >
