Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

turn them into equivalent fractions with a common denominator.

2/9 and 5/6 common denominator that we can use is 18.

what you do to the denominator must be done to the numerator.

so to get from 9 to 18 we multiply by 2. this needs to be done to the numerator.

2 X 2 = 4 the fraction should now be 4/18

to get from 6 to 18 we multiply by 3 again do same to numerator. should now be 15/18

now compare the two

4/18 and 15/18. now we know that 5/6 is bigger than 2/9.
