Compare the numbers. Write >,<, or =for each circle.
one one tenths or one one twelveths (mixed numbers)
The common denominator is 60 since it is the smallest number that can be divided by both 10 and 12.
1 1/10 = 66/60
1 1/12 = 65/60
how do you compare and order mixed fractions? 2 4/5 _ 2 5/6 i don't get how to compare it.i went home sick.
Here are good explanation of changing fractions from mixed to improper fractions.

To compare the numbers one one-tenth and one one-twelfth, we need to convert them to a common denominator.
- One one-tenth can be written as 1/10.
- One one-twelfth can be written as 1/12.
Now, we can compare the two fractions. Since the denominators are different, we need to find a common denominator. In this case, the least common multiple (LCM) of 10 and 12 is 60.
To convert 1/10 to have a denominator of 60, we multiply both the numerator and denominator by 6. This gives us 6/60.
To convert 1/12 to have a denominator of 60, we multiply both the numerator and denominator by 5. This gives us 5/60.
Now, we can compare 6/60 and 5/60.
Since the numerators are different, we can directly compare the fractions by looking at their numerators.
6/60 is greater than 5/60.
Thus, we can write the comparison as follows:
1 one-tenth (1/10) > 1 one-twelfth (1/12)
