Let's evaluate each statement to determine which two are true.

  1. 7/10 < 5/12:

    • Convert 7/10 to a decimal: 0.7
    • Convert 5/12 to a decimal: approximately 0.4167
    • False (0.7 is not less than 0.4167)

  2. 6/10 > 4/9:

    • Convert 6/10 to a decimal: 0.6
    • Convert 4/9 to a decimal: approximately 0.4444
    • True (0.6 is greater than 0.4444)

  3. 4/9 > 11/20:

    • Convert 4/9 to a decimal: approximately 0.4444
    • Convert 11/20 to a decimal: 0.55
    • False (0.4444 is not greater than 0.55)

  4. 2/6 > 7/8:

    • Convert 2/6 to a decimal: approximately 0.3333
    • Convert 7/8 to a decimal: 0.875
    • False (0.3333 is not greater than 0.875)

  5. 2/11 < 5/7:

    • Convert 2/11 to a decimal: approximately 0.1818
    • Convert 5/7 to a decimal: approximately 0.7143
    • True (0.1818 is less than 0.7143)

So the two true statements are:

  • 6/10 > 4/9
  • 2/11 < 5/7
