Which steps should be used to compare the fractions 2/9 and 5/6 1) Find a common numerator.

1) Add the numerators and denominators to determine which sum is larger.

1)Use the "greater than" symbol to show which denominator is larger.

1) Multiply the first fraction by 2/2 and the second fraction by 3/3

turn them into equivalent fractions with a common denominator.

2/9 and 5/6 common denominator that we can use is 18.

what you do to the denominator must be done to the numerator.

so to get from 9 to 18 we multiply by 2. this needs to be done to the numerator.

2 X 2 = 4 the fraction should now be 4/18

to get from 6 to 18 we multiply by 3 again do same to numerator. should now be 15/18

now compare the two

4/18 and 15/18. now we know that 5/6 is bigger than 2/9.

134.6 us dollars

step-by-step explanation:

1 us dollar = 1.33 canadian dollars

so, 150 us dollars = 150 × 1.33 = $199.5.

in canada, the money mitchell spent = 20 canadian dollars.

remaining canadian dollars with him = 199.5 - 20 = 179.5.

after mitchell returned to us, he exchanged the remaining canadian dollars to us dollars.

179.5 canadian dollars = 179.5 × 0.75 = 134.6 us dollars.
