Question

Place the correct symbol, < or >, between the two numbers 11/18 17/24

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{11}{18}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given numbers are $\frac{11}{18}$ and $\frac{17}{24}$.

Now we need to place the correct symbol, < or >, between the given numbers  $\frac{11}{18}$ and $\frac{17}{24}$.

To compare both, we must make denominators equal:

$\frac{11}{18},\frac{17}{24}$

$= \frac{11}{18}\cdot\frac{4}{4},\frac{17}{24}\cdot\frac{3}{3}$

$=\frac{44}{72},\frac{51}{72}$

Now we can easily compare numerators and see that 44<51

then correct answer is:

$\frac{11}{18}$

Answer 2

For this case we must indicate the correct sign between the following numbers:

$\frac {11} {18}\ and\ \frac {17} {24}$

We have to:

$\frac {11} {18} = 0.611111111111\\\frac {17} {24} = 0.708333333333$

So, we have to $\frac {17} {24}> \frac {11} {18}$

Answer:

$\frac {17} {24}> \frac {11} {18}$
