Question

Is 7/9 greater than or less that 8/9

Answer 1

Fractions are parts
7/9 means 7 parts out of 9 possible parts
8/9 means 8 parts out of 9 possible parts
8 is greater than 7 so
7/9 is less than 8/9
7/9<8/9

Answer 2

I know $\frac{7}{9}$ as a decimal is 0.7777778 and I know $\frac{8}{9}$ as a decimal is 0.88889. Which one is bigger? 0.7778 or 0.8889. 0.8889 is bigger so your answer is 7/9<8/9
