Question 132564
Use <, >, or = to make the following statement true.
{{{17/28}}}...{{{5/7}}} First, find a common denominator. Since 28 is a multiple of 7 (4*7=28), use 28 as the common denominator.
{{{17/28}}}...{{{5(4)/7(4)}}} Simplify the second fraction.
{{{17/28}}}...{{{20/28}}} Now it's easy to see which is larger or smaller, so...
{{{17/28 < 20/28}}}, now go back to the original problem and put the same inequality sign in.
{{{17/28 < 5/7}}}...and there you have it!
