You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If by 0.67 you mean a repeating decimal, it must be
\n" ); document.write( "\"%220.66666+.+.+.%22=2%2F3\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "It would be easy to use a calculator to get an approximate decimal value for
\n" ); document.write( "all the fractions and compare those approximate decimal values, but I assume calculators are not allowed.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "Two of the fractions given can be simplified, and simplifying may help.
\n" ); document.write( "\"69%2F99=3%2A23%2F%283%2A33%29=23%2F33\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"24%2F33=3%2A8%2F%283%2A11%29=8%2F11\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "We can easily compare \"6%2F11\" and \"2%2F3\" to each other and to
\n" ); document.write( "B. \"69%2F99=23%2F33\" and C. \"24%2F33\" ,
\n" ); document.write( "if we express all four fractions with \"33\" as a denominator
\n" ); document.write( "\"6%2F11=6%2A3%2F%2811%2A3%29=18%2F33\" and \"2%2F3=2%2A11%2F%283%2A11%29=22%2F33\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"6%2F11=18%2F33%3C22%2F33%3C23%2F33%3C24%2F33\" shows us that
\n" ); document.write( "\"6%2F11%3C2%2F3\" and that
\n" ); document.write( "the answer is neither B. nor C.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\"6%2F11=6%2A5%2F%2811%2A5%29=30%2F55\" ,
\n" ); document.write( "So \"26%2F55%3C30%2F55=6%2F11%3C2%2F3\" and D. is not the answer either.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "The answer must be \"highlight%28A%29\" because that's all that is left.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "Let's verify, anyway.
\n" ); document.write( "To compare \"11%2F18\" to \"2%2F3\" and \"6%2F11\" we can use as a common denominator
\n" ); document.write( "\"198=18%2A11=3%2A6%2A11=3%2A66\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"11%2F18=11%2A11%2F%2818%2A11%29=121%2F198\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2%2F3=2%2A66%2F%283%2A66%29=132%2F198\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"6%2F11=6%2A18%2F%2811%2A18%29=108%2F198\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"6%2F11=108%2F198%3C121%2F198%3C132%2F98=2%2F3\" so \"6%2F11%3Chighlight%2811%2F18%29%3C2%2F3\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
