Sure, let's compare each pair of fractions by determining whether the first fraction is greater than (`>`), less than (`<`), or equal to (`=`) the second fraction. ### 5. $$ \frac{1}{5} $$ vs. $$ \frac{1}{15} $$ - **Comparison:** $$ \frac{1}{5} > \frac{1}{15} $$ - **Explanation:** $$ \frac{1}{5} = 0.2 $$ and $$ \frac{1}{15} \approx 0.0667 $$. Since $$ 0.2 > 0.0667 $$, $$ \frac{1}{5} $$ is greater than $$ \frac{1}{15} $$. ### 6. $$ \frac{17}{10} $$ vs. $$ \frac{17}{5} $$ - **Comparison:** $$ \frac{17}{10} < \frac{17}{5} $$ - **Explanation:** $$ \frac{17}{10} = 1.7 $$ and $$ \frac{17}{5} = 3.4 $$. Since $$ 1.7 < 3.4 $$, $$ \frac{17}{10} $$ is less than $$ \frac{17}{5} $$. ### 8. $$ \frac{12}{27} $$ vs. $$ \frac{6}{9} $$ - **Simplify the Fractions:** - $$ \frac{12}{27} = \frac{4}{9} \approx 0.444 $$ - $$ \frac{6}{9} = \frac{2}{3} \approx 0.666 $$ - **Comparison:** $$ \frac{12}{27} < \frac{6}{9} $$ - **Explanation:** $$ 0.444 < 0.666 $$, so $$ \frac{12}{27} $$ is less than $$ \frac{6}{9} $$. ### 9. $$ \frac{11}{16} $$ vs. $$ \frac{2}{8} $$ - **Simplify the Second Fraction:** $$ \frac{2}{8} = \frac{1}{4} = 0.25 $$ - **Comparison:** $$ \frac{11}{16} > \frac{2}{8} $$ - **Explanation:** $$ \frac{11}{16} \approx 0.6875 $$ and $$ 0.6875 > 0.25 $$, so $$ \frac{11}{16} $$ is greater than $$ \frac{2}{8} $$. ### Summary of Comparisons 1. **5.** $$ \frac{1}{5} > \frac{1}{15} $$ 2. **6.** $$ \frac{17}{10} < \frac{17}{5} $$ 3. **8.** $$ \frac{12}{27} < \frac{6}{9} $$ 4. **9.** $$ \frac{11}{16} > \frac{2}{8} $$ 5. $$ \frac{1}{5} > \frac{1}{15} $$ 6. $$ \frac{17}{10} < \frac{17}{5} $$ 8. $$ \frac{12}{27} < \frac{6}{9} $$ 9. $$ \frac{11}{16} > \frac{2}{8} $$

Compare. Write \( >,< \), or \( = \) for each \( \begin{array}{lll}\text { 5. } \frac{1}{5}=\frac{1}{15} & \text { 6. } \frac{17}{10} & \text { 2 } \frac{17}{5}\end{array} \) \( \begin{array}{lll}\text { 8. } \frac{12}{27} & \frac{6}{9} & \text { 9. } \frac{11}{16}\end{array} \frac{2}{8} \)
