Julie Bridges · Answer 2

True

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Multiply the two numbers to find what each equals

5/6 * 18 and 2/3 * 24

2. Make each whole number be divided by one so we can multiply

5/6 * 18/1 and 2/3 * 24/1

3. Multiply the fractions

(5*18) / (6*1) and (2*24) / (3*1)

4. Simplify

90/6 and 48/3

5. Divide

15 and 16

6. So 5/6 of 18 is 15 and 2/3 of 24 is 16, meaning that 5/6 of 18 IS less than 2/3 of 24. True.
