Work Step by Step

a.) $\frac{10}{2}$ $\geq$ 5 When we simplify the $\frac{10}{2}$, we get 5 since 10 divided by 2 is 5. True b.) $\frac{6}{10}$ $\geq$ $\frac{5}{6}$ The Least Common Denominator of 10 and 6 = 30 $\frac{18}{30}$ $\geq$ $\frac{25}{30}$ When in terms of the same denominator, 18 is not bigger or equal to 25.
