Answer 1

Answer:

To compare the given fractions,

$\frac{5}{11},\frac{7}{10}$

Explanation:

To compare the fractions, the denominator must be same.

To make the common denominator, Take LCM of 11,10.

LCM of 11,10 is 110.

The equivalent fractions are,

$\frac{5}{11}\times\frac{10}{10}=\frac{50}{110}$$\frac{7}{10}\times\frac{11}{11}=\frac{77}{110}$

Comparing the factions we get,

$\frac{50}{110}<\frac{77}{110}$

Hence we get,

$\frac{5}{11}<\frac{7}{10}$

Answer is:

$\frac{5}{11}<\frac{7}{10}$
