Rewrite 1/6 and 2/11 so they have a common denominator then use <, =, or > to order

1/6 < 2/11

Step-by-step explanation:

1/6 = 2/12

2/11 >2/12

So that means 1/6 < 2/11

 1/6 < 2/11

This is the same as saying 11/66 < 12/66

Explanation:

1/6 is the same as 11/66 when multiplying top and bottom by 11.

2/11 is the same as 12/66 when multiplying top and bottom by 6.

The 6 and 11 multipliers are from the original denominators (just swapped).

We can see that 11/66 is smaller than 12/66, simply because 11 < 12, so that means 1/6 is smaller than 2/11

Here's one way you could list out the steps

11 < 12

11/66 < 12/66

1/6 < 2/11

Here's another way to list out the steps. First assume that 1/6 and 2/11 are equal. Cross multiplication then leads to

1/6 = 2/11

1*11 = 6*2

11 = 12

Which is false. But we can fix this by replacing every equal sign with a less than sign

1/6 < 2/11

1*11 < 6*2

11 < 12

Yet another way to see which is smaller is to use your calculator or long division to find the decimal form of each value

1/6 = 0.1667 approximately

2/11 = 0.1818 approximately

We see that 0.1667 is smaller than 0.1818, which must mean 1/6 is smaller than 2/11.

step-by-step explanation:

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !
