Question 1186581: Hello night owls, if anyone can help me with this, I would be so grateful. I really want to understand.
Problem #6) Which rational number is larger, 2/3 or 8/11. Justify your answer.
(Now I want to say 2/3, but I don't know how to justify it.)
It also continues to say to give a rational number that lies between 2/3 and 8/11. Express your answer as a fraction for which both the numerator and denominator are whole numbers.
Please help! Thank you truly.
