Ruby eats two slices of pie

Fraction generally represents a part of the whole. The number present in the upper side is called as numerator and the number present below is called as denominator. Fraction can also be represented as a decimal or percentage when required.

Fraction of pie Ruby ate = 1/5

Number of slices present in the pie = 10

numerical value of a fraction = fraction x total number

So, total number of slices of pie that Ruby ate = 10 x 1/5 = 2

Therefore, Ruby eats two slices of pie.

Ruby ate 1/5 of a pie and if there was 10 slices of pie, it implies Ruby eats two slices of pie.

Can someone plz help me. How can you find the inequalities of 11/15 and 5/7. Next 5/9 and 7/13. Next 11/15 and 5/7. Lastly 5/9 a

LekaFEV [45]

To make this a little clearer, let's give the pairs of inequalities the same denominator:

Question 1:
 $\frac{11}{15}$ ? $\frac{5}{7}$
First, apply the common denominator to the first fraction:
$(\frac{11}{15})7 \\ \frac{11}{15} * \frac{7}{7} \\ \frac{11*7}{15*7} \\ \frac{77}{105}$
Do the same for the second: $15( \frac{5}{7}) \\ \frac{5}{7}* \frac{15}{15} \\ \frac{5*15}{7*15} \\ \frac{75}{105}$
Nest, compare the two fractions:
$\frac{77}{105} \ \textgreater \ \frac{75}{105}$
Therefore:
$\frac{11}{15}$ > $\frac{5}{7}$

Question Two:
$\frac{5}{9}$ ? $\frac{7}{13}$
Apply the common denominator to fraction one:
$13( \frac{5}{9}) \\ \frac{5}{9} * \frac{13}{13} \\ \frac{5*13}{9*13} \\ \frac{65}{117}$
Fraction two:
$9(\frac{7}{13}) \\ \frac{7}{13} * \frac{9}{9} \\ \frac{7*9}{13*9} \\ \frac{63}{117}$
Evaluate:
$\frac{65}{117}$ > $\frac{63}{117}$
Therefore:
 $\frac{5}{9}$ > $\frac{7}{13}$

Hope this helps!
