1%2F2%3Cx%2F10%3C4%2F5

First, make all the denominators the same number. We will go with 10.
5%2F10%3Cx%2F10%3C8%2F10
so now we know that x must be either 6 or 7 for this to be true.
1%2F2%3C7%2F10%3C4%2F5

1%2F4%3C5%2F12%3Cx%2F6

We will make them have the same denominator again. We will use 12.
3%2F12%3C5%2F12%3Cx%2F12
WE know that x must be great than 5/12. We will use 6.
