Answer:

It is closer to 1/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, 10/9 is the same thing as 1 1/9.

Draw a number line:

1/2 1

--|------|------|------|-----|---|---|------|------|------|-----|-----

0/9 1/9 2/9 3/9 4/9 5/9 6/9 7/9 8/9 9/9

Halfway between 4/9 and 5/9 is the same as 1/2 and 9/9 is the same as 1.

You can see that 1/9 is way closer to 1/2 than 1.

So, 10/9 is closer to 1/2.

(There are other ways to solve this, but this way is easiest for me!)

Twelve people join hands for a circle dance.In how many ways can they do this? Suppose six of these people are men, and the other six are women. In how many ways can they join hands for a circle dance, assuming they alternate in gender around the circle

Answer:

86400 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the circle can be rotated, the number of ways to arrange a distinct number of n objects in a circle will be (n−1)!.

Now, if we rotate the circle with the six women, we will see that there are 5! ways with which they can be placed in the circle.

After picking the places for the women, we will now fill each gap between two women with a man.

We have 6 men. Thus, number of ways to arrange the men is 6!

Thus,number of ways they can join hands for a circle dance, assuming they alternate in gender around the circle = 5! × 6! = 86400 ways
