Question

Question 4(e) :

Look at the figures and write ‘<’ or ‘>’ between the given pairs of fractions:

$\frac{5}{6}\square \frac{5}{5}$

Answer 1

The above figures can be thought of as a number line, where the distance between 0 and 1 is divided into "d" equal parts where "d" is the denominator of the fraction.

As we go from left to right on the number line the value increases.

$\frac{5}{5}$ is to the right of $\frac{5}{6}$.

$\therefore$$\frac{5}{6}\begin{array}{c}<\end{array}\frac{5}{5}$
