To compare the fractions 5/11 and 4/5 using the benchmark fraction 1/2, we first need to determine which of these fractions is greater than 1/2.
1. Convert the benchmark fraction to a decimal for easier comparison:
\( 1/2 = 0.5 \)
2. Convert both fractions to decimals:
\( 5/11 \approx 0.4545 \)
\( 4/5 = 0.8 \)
3. Now we can compare:
- \( 5/11 \) (approximately 0.4545) is less than 1/2 (0.5).
- \( 4/5 \) (0.8) is greater than 1/2 (0.5).
Based on this comparison, we can fill in the statement:
The fraction **4/5** is greater than the benchmark 1/2.
