Q9: Compare and put appropriate sign (< >,=) a) - and 3 a)​

Answer 1

(a) Since, the denominator of both the fractions is 6, we compare the numerators

3<53<5

Hence, \frac{3}{6}\ <\frac{5}{6}

6

(b) Since, the numerator of both the fractions is 1, we compare denominators and the lesser denominator will be greater.

\frac{1}{7}<\frac{1}{4}
