To evaluate which statements are true, let's compare the fractions provided in each response:

  1. 7/10 < 5/12:

    • Convert both to decimal:
      • 7/10 = 0.7
      • 5/12 ≈ 0.4167
    • 0.7 is not less than 0.4167. So, this statement is false.

  2. 6/10 > 4/9:

    • Convert both to decimal:
      • 6/10 = 0.6
      • 4/9 ≈ 0.4444
    • 0.6 is greater than 0.4444. So, this statement is true.

  3. 2/11 < 5/7:

    • Convert both to decimal:
      • 2/11 ≈ 0.1818
      • 5/7 ≈ 0.7143
    • 0.1818 is less than 0.7143. So, this statement is true.

  4. 4/9 > 11/20:

    • Convert both to decimal:
      • 4/9 ≈ 0.4444
      • 11/20 = 0.55
    • 0.4444 is not greater than 0.55. So, this statement is false.

  5. 2/6 > 7/8:

    • Convert both to decimal:
      • 2/6 = 1/3 ≈ 0.3333
      • 7/8 = 0.875
    • 0.3333 is not greater than 0.875. So, this statement is false.

The two true statements are:

  • 6/10 > 4/9
  • 2/11 < 5/7
