5/6 _ 8/4. Fill in the boxes with the correct symbol >,< or =.

Solution:

Given the numbers are .5/6 and 8/4.

We have to compare the numbers and fill the boxes with suitable symbols.

Taking LCM of denominators,

6 = 2 × 3

4 = 2 × 2

LCM of 6 and 4 = 2 × 2 × 3 = 12

5/6 = 5/6 × 2/2 = 10/12

8/4 = 8/4 × 3/3 = 24/12

10/12 < 24/12

On simplification, 5/6 < 8/4

Therefore, 5/6 < 8/4.

✦ Try This: 7/6 _ 12/4. Fill in the boxes with the correct symbol >,< or =.
