Question

Which of the following is greater than $\frac{4}{9}$?

• A. $\frac{3}{9}$
• B. $\frac{2}{9}$
• C. $\frac{7}{9}$
• D. $\frac{1}{9}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\frac{7}{9}$

We can see that $\frac{4}{9}$, $\frac{3}{9}$, $\frac{2}{9}$, $\frac{7}{9}$ and $\frac{1}{9}$ are like fractions.

So, we need to compare the numerators.

Since 1 < 2 < 3 < 4 < 7,

$\frac{1}{9}<\frac{2}{9}<\frac{3}{9}<\frac{4}{9}<\frac{7}{9}$.

Therefore, $\frac{7}{9}$ is greater than $\frac{4}{9}$.
