Next Unit Pre Test 3 Compare these fractions. Choose the sign that makes the statement true. \( 2 \quad 2 \) \( -?- \) \( 7 \quad 9 \) A. \( < \) B. \( > \) C. \( = \)

To compare the fractions \( \frac{2}{7} \) and \( \frac{2}{9} \), let's find a common understanding of what they represent. Both fractions have the same numerator (2) but different denominators. Since 7 is larger than 9, it means that each part of \( \frac{2}{7} \) is larger than each part of \( \frac{2}{9} \). Therefore, we can conclude that \( \frac{2}{7} > \frac{2}{9} \). So the correct choice would be B. \( > \). Here's a fun way to remember: If you have a pizza (the numerator) to share with fewer friends (a smaller denominator), each friend gets bigger slices! So, more slices for more friends mean smaller amounts per person! 🍕
