[tex]\frac{5}{9}[/tex] is bigger
[tex]\frac{6}{11}[/tex] = 0.5444
[tex]\frac{5}{9}[/tex] = 0.5555
Answer:
5/9 is bigger
Step-by-step explanation:
Make the denominators the same and compare the numerators.
In case you're not familiar with those terms a fraction is written numerator / denominator.
6/11 and 5/9 One obvious common denominator is 11*9=99 so to turn 6/11 into something over 99 just multiply the six and eleven by 9. 6/11 * 9/9 = 54/99.
To turn 5/9 into something over 99 means multiplying top and bottom by 11.
5/9 * 11/11 = 55/99
Clearly 55/99 is bigger than 54/99 thus 5/9 is bigger than 6/11.
Hope this helps.
