Given Fractions:
Since the denominators are not common (not the same), we need to find the Least Common Denominator (LCD), which is equivalent to the Least Common Multiple of 9 and 12:
LCD = LCM(9, 12) = 36
Express the given fractions as equivalent fractions with respect to the LCD (36):
6 is less than 32 (6 < 32)
As a result,
2/12
and 8/9
Since the denominators are not common (not the same), we need to find the Least Common Denominator (LCD), which is equivalent to the Least Common Multiple of 9 and 12:
LCD = LCM(9, 12) = 36
Express the given fractions as equivalent fractions with respect to the LCD (36):
2/12
= 6/36
and 8/9
= 32/36
Since the equivalent fractions have common denominators, we can compare the numerators:6 is less than 32 (6 < 32)
As a result,
6/36
is less than 32/36
Therefore, 2/12
is less than 8/9
, 2/12
< 8/9
