Which number is greater: 11/9 or 1?

  1. 11/9

  2. 1

  3. They are equal

  4. Not enough information

The correct answer is: 11/9

To determine which number is greater between 11/9 and 1, it is helpful to express both numbers with a common denominator. The number 1 can be rewritten as 9/9 to have a common denominator with 11/9. This makes the comparison straightforward: - 11/9 remains as it is. - 1 is converted to 9/9. Now, comparing the two fractions, we see that 11/9 is greater than 9/9 because the numerator (11) is greater than the numerator of the second fraction (9). Therefore, 11/9 exceeds 1. This method of converting numbers to a common form allows for an easier comparison and confirms that 11/9 is indeed greater than 1.
