To determine which sign makes the statement true, we need to compare \( \frac{3}{6} \) and \( \frac{1}{2} \).

First, we can simplify \( \frac{3}{6} \):

\[ \frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2} \]

Now we can compare the two fractions:

\[ \frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2} \]

Thus, the correct sign to use is \( = \).

So, the complete statement would be:

\[ \frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2} \]

Which sign makes the statement true?
7/10 ? 9/10
<
>
=

To determine which sign makes the statement true for \( \frac{7}{10} \) and \( \frac{9}{10} \), we can compare the two fractions directly.

Since \( 7 < 9 \), we have:

\[ \frac{7}{10} < \frac{9}{10} \]

Thus, the correct sign to use is \( < \).

So, the complete statement would be:

\[ \frac{7}{10} < \frac{9}{10} \]

Which sign makes the statement true?
-6/8 ? -3/4
<
>
=

To compare \(-\frac{6}{8}\) and \(-\frac{3}{4}\), we can simplify \(-\frac{6}{8}\):

\[ -\frac{6}{8} = -\frac{3}{4} \]

Now we see that both values are equal:

\[ -\frac{6}{8} = -\frac{3}{4} \]

Therefore, the correct sign to use is \(=\).

So, the complete statement would be:

\[ -\frac{6}{8} = -\frac{3}{4} \]

Which sign makes the statement true?
-1/2 ? -2/4
<
>
=

To compare \(-\frac{1}{2}\) and \(-\frac{2}{4}\), we can simplify \(-\frac{2}{4}\):

\[ -\frac{2}{4} = -\frac{1}{2} \]

Now we see that both values are equal:

\[ -\frac{1}{2} = -\frac{2}{4} \]

Therefore, the correct sign to use is \(=\).

So, the complete statement would be:

\[ -\frac{1}{2} = -\frac{2}{4} \]

Which sign makes the statement true?
9/10 ? 1/2
<
>
=

To determine which sign makes the statement true for \( \frac{9}{10} \) and \( \frac{1}{2} \), we need to compare the two fractions:

First, we can convert \( \frac{1}{2} \) to a fraction with a denominator of 10:

\[ \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1 \times 5}{2 \times 5} = \frac{5}{10} \]

Now we compare \( \frac{9}{10} \) and \( \frac{5}{10} \):

Since \( 9 > 5 \), we have:

\[ \frac{9}{10} > \frac{1}{2} \]

Thus, the correct sign to use is \( > \).

So, the complete statement would be:

\[ \frac{9}{10} > \frac{1}{2} \]

Which sign makes the statement true?
-4/5 ? -12/15
<
>
=

To compare \(-\frac{4}{5}\) and \(-\frac{12}{15}\), we can simplify \(-\frac{12}{15}\):

\[ -\frac{12}{15} = -\frac{4}{5} \quad (\text{since } \frac{12}{15} = \frac{4}{5}) \]

Now we see that both values are equal:

\[ -\frac{4}{5} = -\frac{12}{15} \]

Therefore, the correct sign to use is \(=\).

So, the complete statement would be:

\[ -\frac{4}{5} = -\frac{12}{15} \]
