OpenStudy (anonymous):

Why is that?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

What is greater 1/10 or 1/12?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/10?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Correct. 1/10 is greater than 1/12. 2 is the same as 2, so 2 and 1/10 is greater than 2 and 1/12

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Remember that the mixed numeral 2 and 1/10 is the same as 2 + 1/10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/10 is bigger than 1/12 if you take 1 and divide by 10 you get .1 but if you take 1 and divide it by 12 you get .08333etc.
