To calculate the product of 1/2 * 5/7, we multiply the numerators together and the denominators together:
(1/2) * (5/7) = (1 * 5) / (2 * 7) = 5/14
Now we need to determine if 5/14 is greater or less than 1/2. To do this, we compare the numerators: 5 and 1.
Since 5 is greater than 1, we can conclude that 5/14 is greater than 1/2.
Therefore, the comparison statement 1/2 * 5/7 __ 1/2 is 5/14 > 1/2.
(1/2) * (5/7) = (1 * 5) / (2 * 7) = 5/14
Now we need to determine if 5/14 is greater or less than 1/2. To do this, we compare the numerators: 5 and 1.
Since 5 is greater than 1, we can conclude that 5/14 is greater than 1/2.
Therefore, the comparison statement 1/2 * 5/7 __ 1/2 is 5/14 > 1/2.
