Section C: Short Answer Questions
Q11.
Since denominators are the same (9), compare numerators:
1 < 2 < 5 < 8
$$\boxed{\frac{1}{9} < \frac{2}{9} < \frac{5}{9} < \frac{8}{9}}$$
Q12.
Length of ribbon left = 3/4 − 1/4 = (3−1)/4 = 2/4 = 1/2 m
Q13.
Two equivalent fractions of 1/3:
$$\frac{1}{3} = \frac{1 \times 2}{3 \times 2} = \frac{2}{6} \qquad \text{and} \qquad \frac{1 \times 3}{3 \times 3} = \frac{3}{9}$$
$$\boxed{\frac{2}{6} \quad \text{and} \quad \frac{3}{
