Question

Which steps should be used to compare the fractions 2/9 and 5/6

Answer 1

Answer: you need to get a common denominator.. once you have a common denominator, you can compare numerators to see what is larger..

Step-by-step explanation:

to get the common denominator, you would first see what this would be.. in this case 18, as that's the lowest.  then, you would multiply each fraction by 2/2 for first and 3/3 for second, which are just funky looking ones.  therefore, D is the correct answer.

Answer 2

Answer:

option 4

Step-by-step explanation:

compare the fractions 2/9 and 5/6

$\frac{2}{9}$ and $\frac{5}{6}$

To compare both the fractions the denominators should be same

We have denominators 9 and 6

LCM of 9 and 6 is 18

To get the denominators same, we multiply the first fraction by 2 and second fraction by 3

$\frac{2}{9}$ and $\frac{5}{6}$

$\frac{2 \cdot 2}{9 \cdot 2}$ and $\frac{5 \cdot 3}{6 \cdot 3}$

so option 4
