I'll work through each fraction comparison step by step, then provide the final answers.
Let me solve each problem:
1) 1/2 vs 1/3
- When numerators are the same, smaller denominator = larger fraction
- 2 < 3, so 1/2 > 1/3
2) 1/5 vs 1/4
- Same numerator, 5 > 4, so 1/5 < 1/4
3) 1/3 vs 1/10
- Same numerator, 3 < 10, so 1/3 > 1/10
4) 2/4 vs 1/2
- 2/4 simplifies to 1/2, so 2/4 = 1/2
5) 2/5 vs 1/5
- Same denominator, 2 > 1, so 2/5 > 1/5
6) 2/9 vs 5/9
- Same denominator, 2 < 5, so 2/9 < 5/9
7) 3/10 vs 3/10
- Identical fractions, so 3/10 = 3/10
8) 1/2 vs 1/5
- Same numerator, 2 < 5, so 1/2 > 1/5
9) 2/7 vs 2/5
- Same numerator, 7 > 5, so 2/7 < 2/5
10) 5/10 vs 1/2
- 5/10 simplifies to 1/2, so 5/10 = 1/2
11) 4/9 vs 2/9
- Same denominator, 4 > 2, so 4/9 > 2/9
12) 1/4 vs 3/4
- Same denominator, 1 < 3, so 1/4 < 3/4
13) 1/9 vs 1/8
- Same numerator, 9 > 8, so 1/9 < 1/8
14) 4/10 vs 7/10
- Same denominator, 4 < 7, so 4/10 < 7/10
15) 4/8 vs 1/2
- 4/8 simplifies to 1/2, so 4/8 = 1/2
16) 2/5 vs 2/9
- Same numerator, 5 < 9, so 2/5 > 2/9
17) 1/10 vs 1/4
- Same numerator, 10 > 4, so 1/10 < 1/4
18) 3/8 vs 5/8
- Same denominator, 3 < 5, so 3/8 < 5/8
19) 2/4 vs 3/6
- 2/4 = 1/2 and 3/6 = 1/2, so 2/4 = 3/6
20) 2/3 vs 2/5
- Same numerator, 3 < 5, so 2/3 > 2/5
21) 7/10 vs 9/10
- Same denominator, 7 < 9, so 7/10 < 9/10
22) 4/7 vs 4/5
- Same numerator, 7 > 5, so 4/7 < 4/5
23) 8/9 vs 5/9
- Same denominator, 8 > 5, so 8/9 > 5/9
24) 1/8 vs 1/6
- Same numerator, 8 > 6, so 1/8 < 1/6
