Question

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

Answer 1

First, let's convert all of our denominators to 12 so we can make comparing the fractions easier.

1/3 * 4 = 4/12. 2/3 * 4 = 8/12.

Now that both of our fractions have a denominator of 12, we can compare the fractions!

8/12 (2/3) > 7/12

Now we have our answer
