\bullet\ \ \mathsf{(2)/(3)}
\leftarrow \mathsf{that\ as\ a\ decimal\ is\ 0.\overline{6}}\mathsf{7}.\mathsf{\ So\ it\ is\ GREATER\ than \ (1)/(2)}
\checkmark


\bullet\ \ \mathsf{(42)/(7)}\leftarrow\mathsf{That\ fraction\ is\ bigger\ than (1)/(2)\ because\ it\ equals\ 6}
\checkmark


\bullet\ \mathsf{(5)/(7)\leftarrow\ \ is\ also\ GREATER\ than\ (1)/(2)\ because\ it\ equals\ 0.71428571}
\checkmark


\bullet\ \mathsf{(6)/(7)\leftarrow\ is\ GREATER\ than\ (1)/(2)\ because\ it\ equals\ to\ 0.85714286}\checkmark
