Question

Use 1 as a benchmark to compare 6/5 and 5/6

Answer 1

To use one as a benchmark fraction in order to compare 6/5 and 5/6, you will use fractions that are equal to one with denominators of 5 and 6. 

Ex:  to compare 6/5 to one, you will write 5/5 for one whole.  6/5 is greater than 5/5.

Ex:  to compare 5/6 to one, you will write 6/6 for one whole.  5/6 is less than 6/6.

This means that 6/5 is greater than 5/6 because 6/5 is greater than 1 and 5/6 is less than 1.
