Question

Please help me, I’m struggling!

Answer 1

a. 1/2

b. 5/6

c. 4/9

d. 12/5

e. 2/9

f. 2/5

Explanation:

a. 1/3 < 1/2

1(2)= 2. 3(2)= 6. 1/6

1(3)= 3. 2(3)=6. 3/6

b. 4/5 < 5/6

4(6)= 24. 5(6)= 30. 24/30

5(5)= 25. 6(5)= 30. 25/30

c. 3/8 < 4/9

3(9)= 27. 8(9)= 72. 27/72

4(8)= 32. 9(8)= 72. 32/72

d. 12/5 > 9/4

12(4)= 48. 5(4)= 20. 48/20

9(5)= 45. 4(5)= 20. 45/20

e. 1/5 < 2/9

1(9)= 9. 5(9)= 45. 9/45

2(5)= 10. 9(5)=45. 10/45

f. 2/5 > 3/9

2(9)= 18. 5(9)= 45. 18/45

3(5)= 15. 9(5)= 45. 15/45

Answer 2

Multiply the numbers until you get the same denominator (Bottom number) for both fractions. I will do #1 to show you.

1/3 1/2

Both 3 and 2 go into 6, so I will use that.

When multiplying the bottom , you have to do the same to the top, so...

2/6 OR 3/6

3/6 is greater, so that is the answer.

Therefore, 1/2 is more

Another way you can do this is to draw a pizza, a section off parts of it according to the fractions.

Hope this helped.
