Question

Burgus compared few unlike fractions. Choose the correct option.

• A. $\frac{5}{9}>\frac{5}{6}$
• B. $\frac{1}{5}>\frac{1}{4}$
• C. $\frac{4}{7}<\frac{4}{8}$
• D. $\frac{2}{9}<\frac{2}{8}$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $\frac{2}{9}<\frac{2}{8}$

To compare unlike fractions, we have to check the denominators. If the numerators are same, then the greater the denominator, the smaller the fraction.
So, $\frac{2}{9}<\frac{2}{8}$ is correct.
