To fill in the blank spaces with the correct inequality symbols, let's analyze each part step-by-step:
### a. [tex]\(\frac{1}{2} \quad \frac{3}{4}\)[/tex]
[tex]\[
\frac{1}{2} < \frac{3}{4}
\][/tex]
So, the correct inequality is:
[tex]\[
\frac{1}{2} < \frac{3}{4}
\][/tex]
### b. 8
For [tex]\( \frac{3}{4} - \frac{1}{2} \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[
\frac{3}{4} - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{4} - \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{4} = 0.25
\][/tex]
There is no comparison symbol needed in this context; it simply represents the result of the operation. The difference between [tex]\( \frac{3}{4} \)[/tex] and [tex]\( \frac{1}{2} \)[/tex]:
So, we have:
[tex]\[
\frac{3}{4} - \frac{1}{2} = 0.25
\][/tex]
### d. 1
Next, for [tex]\(\frac{1}{2} \quad 18\)[/tex]:
We are comparing [tex]\(\frac{1}{2}\)[/tex] with [tex]\(0.18\)[/tex].
[tex]\[
\frac{1}{2} = 0.5 \quad \text{and} \quad 0.18
\][/tex]
So,
[tex]\[
\frac{1}{2} > 0.18
\][/tex]
### f. [tex]\(\frac{7}{18} \quad \frac{3}{4}\)[/tex]
Comparing [tex]\(\frac{7}{18}\)[/tex] and [tex]\(\frac{3}{4}\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[
\frac{7}{18} \approx 0.388 \quad \text{and} \quad \frac{3}{4} = 0.75
\][/tex]
So,
[tex]\[
\frac{7}{18} < \frac{3}{4}
\][/tex]
### g. [tex]\(\frac{3}{4} \quad \frac{6}{8}\)[/tex]
Comparing [tex]\(\frac{3}{4}\)[/tex] with [tex]\(\frac{6}{8}\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[
\frac{3}{4} = \frac{6}{8} = 0.75
\][/tex]
So,
[tex]\[
\frac{3}{4} = \frac{6}{8}
\][/tex]
### h. [tex]\(\frac{1}{8} \quad \frac{1}{4}\)[/tex]
Comparing [tex]\(\frac{1}{8}\)[/tex] with [tex]\(\frac{1}{4}\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[
\frac{1}{8} \approx 0.125 \quad \text{and} \quad \frac{1}{4} = 0.25
\][/tex]
So,
[tex]\[
\frac{1}{8} < \frac{1}{4}
\][/tex]
### i. [tex]\(\frac{5}{8} \quad \frac{2}{4}\)[/tex]
Comparing [tex]\(\frac{5}{8}\)[/tex] with [tex]\(\frac{2}{4}\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[
\frac{5}{8} = 0.625 \quad \text{and} \quad \frac{2}{4} = 0.5
\][/tex]
So,
[tex]\[
\frac{5}{8} > \frac{2}{4}
\][/tex]
### j. [tex]\(\frac{1}{8} \quad \frac{2}{4}\)[/tex]
Comparing [tex]\(\frac{1}{8}\)[/tex] with [tex]\(\frac{2}{4}\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[
\frac{1}{8} \approx 0.125 \quad \text{and} \quad \frac{2}{4} = 0.5
\][/tex]
So,
[tex]\[
\frac{1}{8} < \frac{2}{4}
\][/tex]
