Question

Which of the following is a true statement?

Answer 1

Answer:

B; 2/3 < 5/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Find a common denominator:

A common denominator is 21. Multiply the denominators by the number you need to get to 21. The common denominator would be 7 for 2/3 and 3 for 5/7.

$\frac{2}{3}$ x 7=  14/21

$\frac{5}{7}$ x 3 = 15/21

The statement would be 14/21 < 15/21 which is true. Therefore, your answer is B; the second statement from the top.
