Answer 1

To compare the given fractions,

`(5)/(11),(7)/(10)`

Step-by-step explanation:

To compare the fractions, the denominator must be same.

To make the common denominator, Take LCM of 11,10.

LCM of 11,10 is 110.

The equivalent fractions are,

`(5)/(11)*(10)/(10)=(50)/(110)`
`(7)/(10)*(11)/(11)=(77)/(110)`

Comparing the factions we get,

`(50)/(110)<(77)/(110)`

Hence we get,

`(5)/(11)<(7)/(10)`

Answer is:

`(5)/(11)<(7)/(10)`
