Question

use the number line to determine which fraction is larger: $\frac{6}{9}$ or $\frac{1}{9}$

that is correct. now complete the sentence below and submit.

number line image with 0, 1, $\frac{1}{9}$, $\frac{6}{9}$ marked

answer (attempt 1 out of 2):
$\frac{6}{9}$ is ____ than $\frac{1}{9}$ because 6 is __ than 1, and the two fractions have ____ denominators.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze fraction positions

On a number line, for fractions with the same denominator, the one with the larger numerator is to the right (larger). Here, denominators of $\frac{6}{9}$ and $\frac{1}{9}$ are both 9 (same), and $6 > 1$.

Step2: Determine relationships

Since $6 > 1$ and denominators are equal, $\frac{6}{9}$ is larger than $\frac{1}{9}$.

Answer:

$\frac{6}{9}$ is larger than $\frac{1}{9}$ because 6 is larger than 1, and the two fractions have the same denominators.
