Question 337009
0.6 is larger because the 6 in the tenths place is larger than the 5 in the tenths place. So {{{3/5>5/9}}}



Alternative method:


Cross multiply to get 


3*9 _________ 5*5 


and multiply the numbers out to get


27 _________ 25



Since 27 > 25, this means that the left hand side is larger. So {{{3/5>5/9}}}
