1/37 = 0.027.
\(\frac{2}{7}\).
2/7 = 2 sevenths.
2/8 = 0.25.
1.33 < 1.16.
1 seventh is less than 2 sevenths.
1/7 <  2/7.

b. \(\frac{5}{7}\) _______ \(\frac{11}{14}\)

Answer:
\(\frac{5}{7}\) __>___ \(\frac{11}{14}\).

Explanation:
In the above-given question,
given that,
\(\frac{5}{7}\).
5/3 = 5 thirds.
5/3 = 1.6.
\(\frac{11}{14}\).
11/14 = 11 fourteens.
11/14 = 2.75.
1.6 < 2.75
5 sevens are less than 11 fourteens.
5/7 < 11/14.

c. \(\frac{7}{10}\) _________ \(\frac{3}{5}\)

Answer:
\(\frac{7}{10}\) __>___ \(\frac{3}{5}\).

Explanation:
In the above-given question,
given that,

7/10 = 0.7.
\(\frac{3}{5}\).
3/5 = 3 fifths.
3/5 = 0.6.
0.7 > 0.6.
7 tenths are greater than 3 fifths.
7/10 > 3/5.

d. \(\frac{2}{3}\) ________ \(\frac{9}{15}\)

Answer:
\(\frac{2}{3}\) __=___ \(\frac{9}{15}\).

Explanation:
In the above-given question,
given that,

\(\frac{9}{12}\).
9/12 = 9 twelfths.
9/12 = 0.75.
0.75 = 0.75.
3 fourths are equal to 9 twelfths.
3/4 = 9/12.

f. \(\frac{5}{3}\) ________ \(\frac{5}{2}\)

Answer:
\(\frac{5}{3}\) __<___ \(\frac{5}{2}\).

Explanation:
In the above-given question,
given that,

5/3 = 5 thirds.
5/3 = 1.66.
\(\frac{5}{2}\).
5/2 = 5 twos.
5/2 = 2.5.
1.66 < 2.5.
5 thirds less than 5 twos.
5/3 < 5/2.

Question 6.
