Todd is using the benchmark \(\frac{1}{2}\) to compare fractions. Which statement is not correct?

A. \(\frac{5}{6}\) is less than \(\frac{1}{2}\)

Answer (2)

That's the correct answer -- 5/6 is about 0.83, while 1/2 is 0.5, so you get a clear order. Another way to compare them is writing 1/2 as 3/6, again getting an order.

That is the correct anwser because 3/6=1/2 and 5/6 is greater 1/2<5/6
