1 answer

Least Common Multiple LCM of denominators = 72

Write your fractions as fractions with denominator 72.

1 / 2 = 36 • 1 / 36 • 2 = 36 / 72

3 / 4 = 18 • 3 / 18 • 4 = 54 / 72

1 / 8 = 9 • 1 / 9 • 8 = 9 / 72

2 / 3 = 24 • 2 / 24 • 3 = 48 / 72

4 / 9 = 8 • 4 / 8 • 9 = 32 / 62

Less than 1 / 2 is a fractions whose numerator is less than 36 ( because 1 / 2 = 36 / 72 )

In this case:

1 / 8 < 1 / 2

and

4 / 9 < 1 / 2
