1 answer

To compare \( \frac{\pi}{9} \) and \( \frac{1}{3} \), we can convert \( \frac{1}{3} \) to a decimal or compare them by finding a common denominator.

Calculating the decimal values:

  • \( \pi \) is approximately \( 3.14 \), so \( \frac{\pi}{9} \approx \frac{3.14}{9} \approx 0.349 \).
  • \( \frac{1}{3} \approx 0.333 \).

Now, comparing:

  • \( 0.349 > 0.333 \)

Thus, we have: \[ \frac{\pi}{9} > \frac{1}{3} \]

The correct symbol to use is \( > \).
