Sure, let's compare each pair of fractions by determining whether the first fraction is greater than (`>`), less than (`<`), or equal to (`=`) the second fraction. ### 5. \( \frac{1}{5} \bigcirc \frac{1}{15} \) - **Comparison:** \( \frac{1}{5} \) vs. \( \frac{1}{15} \) - **Convert to Common Denominator (15):** - \( \frac{1}{5} = \frac{3}{15} \) - \( \frac{1}{15} = \frac{1}{15} \) - **Comparison:** \( \frac{3}{15} > \frac{1}{15} \) - **Symbol:** \( \frac{1}{5} > \frac{1}{15} \) ### **Answer:** \( \frac{1}{5} > \frac{1}{15} \) --- ### 6. \( \frac{17}{10} \bigcirc \frac{17}{5} \) - **Comparison:** \( \frac{17}{10} \) vs. \( \frac{17}{5} \) - **Convert to Decimals:** - \( \frac{17}{10} = 1.7 \) - \( \frac{17}{5} = 3.4 \) - **Comparison:** \( 1.7 < 3.4 \) - **Symbol:** \( \frac{17}{10} < \frac{17}{5} \) ### **Answer:** \( \frac{17}{10} < \frac{17}{5} \) --- ### 7. \( \frac{5}{25} \bigcirc \) **(Missing Second Fraction)** It appears that the second fraction for comparison in question 7 is missing. If you provide the second fraction, I'd be happy to help compare them! --- ### 8. \( \frac{12}{27} \bigcirc \frac{6}{9} \) - **Comparison:** \( \frac{12}{27} \) vs. \( \frac{6}{9} \) - **Simplify the Fractions:** - \( \frac{12}{27} = \frac{4}{9} \) (Divide numerator and denominator by 3) - \( \frac{6}{9} = \frac{2}{3} \) (Divide numerator and denominator by 3) - **Convert to Decimals:** - \( \frac{4}{9} \approx 0.444 \) - \( \frac{2}{3} \approx 0.666 \) - **Comparison:** \( 0.444 < 0.666 \) - **Symbol:** \( \frac{12}{27} < \frac{6}{9} \) ### **Answer:** \( \frac{12}{27} < \frac{6}{9} \) --- ### 9. \( \frac{11}{16} \bigcirc \frac{2}{8} \) - **Comparison:** \( \frac{11}{16} \) vs. \( \frac{2}{8} \) - **Simplify the Second Fraction:** - \( \frac{2}{8} = \frac{1}{4} \) - **Convert to Decimals:** - \( \frac{11}{16} = 0.6875 \) - \( \frac{1}{4} = 0.25 \) - **Comparison:** \( 0.6875 > 0.25 \) - **Symbol:** \( \frac{11}{16} > \frac{2}{8} \) ### **Answer:** \( \frac{11}{16} > \frac{2}{8} \) --- ### Summary of Comparisons: | Question | Comparison | |----------|-------------------------------------------| | **5.** | \( \frac{1}{5} > \frac{1}{15} \) | | **6.** | \( \frac{17}{10} < \frac{17}{5} \) | | **7.** | \(\frac{5}{25} \bigcirc \) **Missing** | | **8.** | \( \frac{12}{27} < \frac{6}{9} \) | | **9.** | \( \frac{11}{16} > \frac{2}{8} \) | If you have the missing information for question 7 or need further assistance, feel free to let me know!
