Explain how you know that [tex]\frac{7}{12}[/tex] is greater than [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] but less than [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex].

You can put them into decimals. 7/12=0.58 1/3=0.33 2/3=0.66
(to find decimals divide the top number by the bottom)

convert all of these to a common denominator: 7/12 , 1/3 , 2/3
7/12 = 7/12 1/3 = 4/12 2/3 = 8/12
place into compound inequality:
(1/3=4/12) < (7/12=7/12) < (2/3=8/12)
