Answer 1

Let's evaluate each statement to determine which two are true.

1. **7/10 < 5/12**:
- Convert 7/10 to a decimal: 0.7
- Convert 5/12 to a decimal: approximately 0.4167
- **False** (0.7 is not less than 0.4167)

2. **6/10 > 4/9**:
- Convert 6/10 to a decimal: 0.6
- Convert 4/9 to a decimal: approximately 0.4444
- **True** (0.6 is greater than 0.4444)

3. **4/9 > 11/20**:
- Convert 4/9 to a decimal: approximately 0.4444
- Convert 11/20 to a decimal: 0.55
- **False** (0.4444 is not greater than 0.55)

4. **2/6 > 7/8**:
- Convert 2/6 to a decimal: approximately 0.3333
- Convert 7/8 to a decimal: 0.875
- **False** (0.3333 is not greater than 0.875)

5. **2/11 < 5/7**:
- Convert 2/11 to a decimal: approximately 0.1818
- Convert 5/7 to a decimal: approximately 0.7143
- **True** (0.1818 is less than 0.7143)

So the two true statements are:

- **6/10 > 4/9**
- **2/11 < 5/7**
