Question

WHICH FRACTION IS GREATER FIVE TWENTY-FOUR OR NINE THIRTY-FIVE'S

Answer 1

Here is a neat way to compare two fractions
1. write the down beside each other like this

5/24 9/35

2. take the cross-products

5x35 24x9
175 216

which sign, > or < , fits the situation?

that is, 175 < 216

put that same sign between the two fractions

5/24 < 9/35

OR (the easy way)...

you could just find their decimal equivalents and decide that way
