Solution
\[\frac{5}{6}\] \[\boxed{<}\] \[\frac{8}{4}\]
Explanation:
Given rational numbers are `5/6` and `8/4`
We convert the rational numbers with the same denominators.
∴ `(5 xx 2)/(6 xx 2) = 10/12` and `(8 xx 3)/(4 xx 3) = 24/12` ...[∵ LCM of 6 and 4 = 12]
i.e. 24 > 10
⇒ `24/12` > `10/12`
Hence, `5/6` < `8/4`.
