Question

Fill the blank with a suitable sign:
$\frac{7}{9}$ _____ $\frac{5}{9}$

• A. $>$
• B. $<$
• C. $=$
• D. $\ne$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $>$

$\frac{7}{9}$ and $\frac{5}{9}$ both have the same denominator 9.
But, $\frac{7}{9}$ has numerator 7 and $\frac{5}{9}$ has numerator 5.

$\because$$7>5$
$\therefore \frac{7}{9}>\frac{5}{9}$
