1 8/13
 in. His green pencil measured 
1 2/3
 in. 
Select true or false for each statement.

Answer 1

Compute the values, then compare them.

Answer 2

Actually, you need to compare
\[
\frac 8{13} \text { and } \frac 2 3
\]
Why?

Answer 3

To make them have the same denominator. First
do this
\[
\frac 8 {13} =\frac 3 3\frac 8 {13}=\frac {?}{?}\\
\frac 2 3=\frac {13}{13}\frac 2 3=\frac {?}{?}\\
\]
The rest should be easy
