Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{2}{9}$ is greater than $\frac{1}{6}$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Two fractions are given, $\frac{1}{6} , \frac{2}{9}$.

To find : Which fraction is greater?

Solution :

• The two fractions are $\frac{1}{6} , \frac{2}{9}$.
• We have to find that which one fraction is greater.
• To find the greater fraction, we have to compare both the fractions.
• Now, converting fractions into decimal numbers, we get

              $\frac{1}{6}=0.1666$  and

              $\frac{2}{9}=0.2222$

• By seeing above decimal numbers, it is clear that

            $0.2222>0.1666$

• ∴ $\frac{1}{6} <\frac{2}{9}$
• ∴  $\frac{2}{9}$ is greater than $\frac{1}{6}$.
