Which steps should be used to compare the fractions 2/9

and 5/6?

A:Find a common numerator.

B:Add the numerators and denominators to determine which sum is larger.

C:Use the "greater than" symbol to show which denominator is larger.

D:Multiply the first fraction by 2/2 and the second fraction by 3/3

A

Step-by-step explanation:

A. Yes.

B. No. This does not determine which fraction is greater.

C. No. The "greater than" symbol is not used to describe the larger denominator.

D. No. Multiply 2/9 * 2/2 = 4/28. 5/6 * 3/3 = 15/18

28 and 18 are not common denominators and cannot be used to compare the fraction.
