The difference of the greatest and the smallest of the fractions 1/2, 8/11, 7/8, 7/9, 5/6 is: Option 1: 3/8 Option 2: 6/7 Option 3: 7/9 Option 4: 1/3

Answer: 3/8. Solution: To find the difference between the greatest and smallest fractions, we first identify the greatest and smallest fractions among 1/2, 8/11, 7/8, 7/9, and 5/6. The fractions in decimal form are: 1/2 = 0.5, 8/11 0.727, 7/8 = 0.875, 7/9 0.778, 5/6 0.833. The greatest fraction is 7/8 and the smallest fraction is 1/2. Now, we calculate the difference: 7/8 - 1/2 = 7/8 - 4/8 = 3/8. Thus, the difference of the greatest and the smallest fractions is 3/8.

✅ Correct Option: 1

To find the difference between the greatest and smallest fractions, we first identify the greatest and smallest fractions among $\frac{1}{2}$ , $\frac{8}{11}$ , $\frac{7}{8}$ , $\frac{7}{9}$ , and $\frac{5}{6}$ .

The fractions in decimal form are:

$\frac{1}{2} = 0.5$ ,

$\frac{8}{11} \approx 0.727$ ,

$\frac{7}{8} = 0.875$ ,

$\frac{7}{9} \approx 0.778$ ,

$\frac{5}{6} \approx 0.833$ .

The greatest fraction is $\frac{7}{8}$ and the smallest fraction is $\frac{1}{2}$ .

Now, we calculate the difference:

$\frac{7}{8} - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{7}{8} - \frac{4}{8} = \frac{3}{8}.$

Thus, the difference of the greatest and the smallest fractions is $\frac{3}{8}$ .
