How do you compare 7/3 with 2 1/3 using < >=?

Answer 1

Noah Archer

7/3 = 2 1/3

Since #7/3# is the same as #2 1/3#, so they are equal to each other.

#2 1/3# is what we call the mixed number form of the fraction.

#7/3# is not greater than or less than #2 1/3# since they are both the same fraction.

Therefore, #7/3# = #2 1/3#.

To compare \( \frac{7}{3} \) with \( 2\frac{1}{3} \) using \( < \), \( > \), or \( = \), we need to convert both numbers to the same format. In this case, we'll convert \( 2\frac{1}{3} \) to an improper fraction so that both numbers are in fractional form. \[ 2\frac{1}{3} = \frac{2 \times 3 + 1}{3} = \frac{6 + 1}{3} = \frac{7}{3} \] Now, we have both numbers as \( \frac{7}{3} \). Since both are equal, we use the \( = \) sign to compare them: \[ \frac{7}{3} = \frac{7}{3} \]

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
