Answer 1

Hello There!

You need to find out which fraction is greater.

First, you need to solve 5/6 x 2 1/5
--------------------------------------------------------------
                         $Solving$
--------------------------------------------------------------

                         5 x 11 =  55
                      -------------  ----   Simplified is   1 5/6
                         6 x 5 =    30
------------------------------------------------------------------
                     The LCD [ Least Common Denominator ] is 30. 
                 so, 55/30 & 126/30
                 
             Therefore, 1 5/6 is less than 21/5
 
      Hope this helped!
