Question

Choose the appropriate sign to be placed in the blank

$\frac{3}{6}$ ____ $\frac{3}{4}$

• A. < (lesser than)
• B. = ( equals to )
• C. > (greater than)
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A < (lesser than)

The comparision of two fractions can be done only if they are like fractions.
So,converting the two fractions into like fractions:
$\frac{3\times 2}{6\times 2}=\frac{6}{12}$

$\frac{3\times 3}{4\times 3}=\frac{9}{12}$
Now, we can say that $\frac{6}{12}$ is lesser than $\frac{9}{12}$.
Therefore,option a is correct.
