we cud notice that
8/9=0.888

Answer 5

in order to see this

Answer 6

other wise we cud check using fractions since everything is expressed as frac
so
\[[1/2\space ,8/9]\]
12/24 is half if any number is more that 12 on the numerator then it is between the 1/2 and 8/9


taking note that 1/3=8/24

Answer 7

8/9 means he numerator should be less than or equal 21

Answer 8

since 8/9(24)=21

Answer 9

7
8
22
19
