Answer 7

and 1 and 1 are the same

Answer 8

Think about a pie that is a kind you really like. Would you rather some one gave you 1/2 of the pie or 1/4 of the pie? Which piece would be bigger? Would you rather split the pie with 1 other friend or with 3 other friends?

Answer 9

if you try to find the common denominator for 1/2 and 1/4, it would be 4. If you multiply 1/2 by 2/2 you would get 1/2 = 2/4. So is 2/4 more or less than 1/4?

Answer 10

So find the common denominator for 1/7 and 1/8. It would be 7 times 8 or 56.
1/7 * 8/8 = 8/56
1/8 * 7/7 = 7/56
Which is larger?
