Choose the symbol that correctly compares the fractions below.
8/9 ? 1/9

Which means that this equation is also true: 8/9 > 1/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Is 8/9 less than 1/9? Is 8/9 smaller than 1/9? These are the same questions with one answer.

To get the answer, we first convert each fraction into decimal numbers. We do this by dividing the numerator by the denominator for each fraction as illustrated below:

8/9 = 0.889

1/9 = 0.111

Then, we compare the two decimal numbers to get the answer.

0.889 is not less than 0.111.

Therefore, 8/9 is not less than 1/9 and the answer to the question "Is 8/9 less than 1/9?" is no.
