To compare \(\frac{\pi}{9}\) and \(\frac{1}{3}\), we can convert \(\frac{1}{3}\) to a fraction with a common denominator.
First, we can express \(\frac{1}{3}\) with a denominator of 9:
\[ \frac{1}{3} = \frac{3}{9} \]
Now we can compare \(\frac{\pi}{9}\) and \(\frac{3}{9}\):
If we compare \(\pi\) to 3 (since both fractions have the same denominator), we see that \(\pi \approx 3.14\).
Since \(3.14 > 3\), it follows that:
\[ \frac{\pi}{9} > \frac{1}{3} \]
Thus, the correct comparison symbol is:
\[ \frac{\pi}{9} > \frac{1}{3} \]
