Questions: ression is less than, equal to, or greater than 1. Match each expression to the Greater than 1 4/9 + 2/9 4/9 + 5/9 4/9 + 7/9

Solution Steps

$$\frac{4}{9} + \frac{2}{9} = \frac{6}{9} = \frac{2}{3}$$ Since $\frac{2}{3} < 1$, this expression is not greater than 1.

$$\frac{4}{9} + \frac{5}{9} = \frac{9}{9} = 1$$ Since $\frac{9}{9} = 1$, this expression is not greater than 1.

$$\frac{4}{9} + \frac{7}{9} = \frac{11}{9}$$ Since $\frac{11}{9} > 1$, this expression is greater than 1.
