Answer:

[tex]\dfrac{11}{20}<\dfrac{5}{9}[/tex]

A is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: [tex]\dfrac{11}{20}\text{ and }\dfrac{5}{9}[/tex]

We need to compare the two fraction.

We can compare either greater , less or equal.

If we compare two fraction. First we make their denominator same.

Denominators are 20 and 9

We will find the LCD of 20 and 9

20 = 2 x 2 x 5

9 = 3 x 3

LCD = 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 5 = 180

[tex]\text{First Fraction}\rightarrow \dfrac{11\times 9}{20\times 9}\Rightarrow \dfrac{99}{180}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Second Fraction}\rightarrow \dfrac{5\times 20}{9\times 20}\Rightarrow \dfrac{100}{180}[/tex]

Now, we can see their denominator are same.

We will compare the numerator.

99<100

Thus,

[tex]\dfrac{99}{180}<\dfrac{100}{180}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{11}{20}<\dfrac{5}{9}[/tex]

Hence, [tex]\dfrac{11}{20}<\dfrac{5}{9}[/tex] correct.
