To compare the fractions \( \frac{5}{11} \) and \( \frac{4}{5} \) to the benchmark fraction \( \frac{1}{2} \), we can convert each fraction to decimal form or compare them directly to \( \frac{1}{2} \).
- Convert to decimals:
- \( \frac{5}{11} \approx 0.4545 \)
- \( \frac{4}{5} = 0.8 \)
- \( \frac{1}{2} = 0.5 \)
Now we can compare:
- \( 0.4545 < 0.5 \) (thus, \( \frac{5}{11} < \frac{1}{2} \))
- \( 0.8 > 0.5 \) (thus, \( \frac{4}{5} > \frac{1}{2} \))
- Conclusion: The fraction \( \frac{4}{5} \) is greater than \( \frac{1}{2} \).
So, the complete statement would be:
The fraction \( \frac{4}{5} \) is greater than \( \frac{1}{2} \).
