Question

Which inequality correctly compares Five-sixths, One-half, Three-ninths, and 1?

Answer 1

Answer:

Three-ninths < One-half < Five-sixths < 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We are supposed to compares Five-sixths, One-half, Three-ninths, and 1

$\frac{5}{6} , \frac{1}{2},\frac{3}{9} , 1$

Take LCM of denominators

LCM of 6,9,2,1 = 18

$\frac{5}{6} \times \frac{3}{3}=\frac{15}{18}$

$\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{9}{9}=\frac{9}{18}$

$\frac{3}{9} \times \frac{2}{2}=\frac{6}{18}$

$1 \times \frac{18}{18} = \frac{18}{18}$

$\frac{6}{18}$

$\frac{3}{9}$

Three-ninths < One-half < Five-sixths < 1
