Question

Choose the correct typographical symbol to make the following statement true.
$\frac{5}{11}?\frac{8}{11}$

• A. $<$
• B. $>$
• C. $=$
• D. $\ge$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $<$

Let's compare the fractions $\frac{5}{11}$ and $\frac{8}{11}.$

Both the fractions have the same denominators. When the two fractions have the same denominator, then the smaller fraction is the one with the smaller numerator.

So, just compare the numerators 5 and 8.

Since $5<8$

$\therefore \frac{5}{11}<\frac{8}{11}$
