Use (<, >, =) to compare 2⁄3 and 3⁄4.

A. 2⁄3 = 3⁄4
B. 2⁄3 > 3⁄4
C. None of the above
D. 2⁄3 < 3⁄4

Respuesta :

2/3 = 0.666
3/4 = 0.75

so.....2/3 < 3/4

Answer:

option:D ([tex]\frac{2}{3}<\frac{3}{4}[/tex])

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to compare two rational numbers [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] and [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex].

"two rational number can be compared by making there denominator same and compare whose numerator is larger or smaller " .

" if the denominator is same and numerator of one is larger than the other than that rational number is larger ".

[tex]\frac{2}{3}=\frac{2}{3}\times\frac{4}{4}=\frac{8}{12}[/tex]

and [tex]\frac{3}{4}=\frac{3}{4}\times\frac{3}{3}=\frac{9}{12}[/tex]

also we know that [tex]\frac{8}{12}<\frac{9}{12}[/tex]

⇒   [tex]\frac{2}{3}<\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

Hence option D is true.
