Answer
**14. Compare \( 0.8 \) and \( 1.2 \):**
**b. \( < \)**
**15. Compare \( \frac{3}{9} \) and \( \frac{2}{3} \):**
**b. \( < \)**
Solution
Sure, let's compare each pair of numbers and choose the correct symbol.
---
**14. Compare \( 0.8 \) and \( 1.2 \)**
- **Options:**
- a. \( > \)
- b. \( < \)
**Comparison:**
\[
0.8 < 1.2
\]
**Answer:**
**b. \( < \)**
---
**15. Compare \( \frac{3}{9} \) and \( \frac{2}{3} \)**
- **Options:**
- a. \( > \)
- b. \( < \)
- c. \( = \)
**Simplify the Fractions:**
\[
\frac{3}{9} = \frac{1}{3} \quad \text{and} \quad \frac{2}{3} \text{ remains the same}
\]
**Comparison:**
\[
\frac{1}{3} < \frac{2}{3}
\]
**Answer:**
**b. \( < \)**

Simplify this solution Bonus Knowledge
For \( 0.8 \longrightarrow 1.2 \), we see that 0.8 is less than 1.2. So, the answer is b. < When comparing \( \frac{3}{9} \) and \( \frac{2}{3} \), we can simplify \( \frac{3}{9} \) to \( \frac{1}{3} \), which is less than \( \frac{2}{3} \). Thus, the answer is b. <
