Answer:7/33 is less than 5/11

Explanation:

Multiply 7/33 by 11 /11

7/33×11/11=(7×11)/(33×11)=77/363

Multiply 5/11 by 33/33

5/11×33/33=(5×33)/(11×33)=165/363

7/33=77/363 5/11=165/363 since they have same denominator 363 we compare their numerator 77 is less than 165 therefore we say7/33 is less than 5/11

First, find common denominators.

5/11 = 15/33

7/33

Second, see which one is greater.

15/33 (5/11) is greater than 7/33!

Best of Luck!
