Transcript text: ression is less than, equal to, or greater than 1 . Match each expression to the $\square$ $\square$ Greater than 1 $\frac{4}{9}+\frac{2}{9}$ $\frac{4}{9}+\frac{5}{9}$ $\frac{4}{9}+\frac{7}{9}$

Solution

Solution Steps

Step 1: Evaluate $\frac{4}{9} + \frac{2}{9}$

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

Step 2: Evaluate $\frac{4}{9} + \frac{5}{9}$

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

Step 3: Evaluate $\frac{4}{9} + \frac{7}{9}$

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

Final Answer

The expression that is greater than 1 is $\frac{4}{9} + \frac{7}{9}$, so the final answer is $\boxed{\frac{4}{9} + \frac{7}{9}}$.
