Hank has finished 7/9 of his homework. Billy has finished 2/3 of his homework. Who is closer to finishing his homework?

Hank is closer to finishing his homework. Here is why To answer this question you have to make both of the fractions have a common denominator. Since 3 can go into 9 you can just change the second fraction. You would divide the denominater by 3 so you get 9 and whatever you do to the denominater you would have to do to the numerator. So you would get 6/9. Hank has 7/9 and Billy only has 6/9 so Hank is closer

Hank is.

If you convert 2/3 to the denominator 9, then you'll get 6/9. 7/9>6/9.
