Question

for problems 7 - 10, circle true or false.

1. 8 < 12/12
2. 12/50 = 6/25
3. 2.2 > 2.09
4. 8.15 = 8 + 1/10+ 5/100

Explanation:

Step1: Check problem 7

Compare $\frac{8}{12}$ and $\frac{8}{12}$. Since $\frac{8}{12}=\frac{8}{12}$, the statement $8 < \frac{8}{12}$ is False.

Step2: Check problem 8

Simplify $\frac{12}{50}$ by dividing both numerator and denominator by 2. $\frac{12\div2}{50\div2}=\frac{6}{25}$, not $\frac{25}{6}$, so this statement is False.

Step3: Check problem 9

Compare 2.2 and 2.09. Since 2.2 - 2.09=0.11>0, 2.2 > 2.09, this statement is True.

Step4: Check problem 10

Rewrite 8.15 as a fraction. $8.15 = 8+\frac{15}{100}=8+\frac{1}{10}+\frac{5}{100}$, this statement is True.

Answer:

1. False
2. False
3. True
4. True
