Question

Choose the fraction that goes in the blank.
5/12<___<3/4
A. 5/6
B. 1/4
C. 2/3
D. 7/8

Answer 1

\[\frac{ 3 }{ 4 }*\frac{ 3 }{ 3 }=\frac{ 9 }{ 12 }\]

Answer 2

5/12 < ___ < 3/4 --- convert to decimals
0.416 < ___ < 0.75

so we know that the missing number has to be between 0.416 and 0.75. So we will look at our answer choices and convert each one to a decimal

5/6 = 0.833
1/4 = 0.25
2/3 = 0.666
7/8 = 0.875

so what do you think ?
