What are the comparison symbols for 5/6 and 2/5, 4/10 and 7/8, and 3/12 and 1/4 Answer like this: Example

=
<
>

Step-by-step explanation:

The comparison will be the same if you subtract the right side and compare to zero:

  a/b ?? c/d . . . . . . . using ?? for the unknown comparison symbol

  a/b - c/d ?? 0 . . . . subtract the fraction on the right

  (ad -bc)/bd ?? 0 . . . combine the two fractions

  ad - bc ?? 0 . . . . . . multiply by bd to make the job easier

5/6 and 2/5

  5(5) -6(2) = 25 -12 > 0   ⇒   5/6 > 2/5

4/10 and 7/8

  4(8) -10(7) = 48 - 70 < 0   ⇒   4/10 < 7/8

3/12 and 1/4

  3(4) -12(1) = 0   ⇒   3/12 = 1/4

Of course, you can use your calculator (or your memory) to change each of these to a decimal equivalent. The comparison should be easy at that point.

  0.833 > 0.400

  0.400 < 0.875

  0.250 = 0.250
