Which of the following numbers are less than (9)/(4) ? Choose all answers that apply: A (11)/(4) B (15)/(8) C 2.201

Convert to decimal: Convert the fraction (9)/(4) to a decimal to make comparisons easier. Calculation: (9)/(4) = 2.25Compare option A: Compare option A (11)/(4) to (9)/(4). Calculation: (11)/(4) = 2.75 Since 2.75 is greater than 2.25, (11)/(4) is not less than (9)/(4).Compare option B: Compare option B (15)/(8) to (9)/(4). Calculation: (15)/(8) = 1.875 Since 1.875 is less than 2.25, (15)/(8) is less than (9)/(4).Compare option C: Compare option C 2.201 to (9)/(4). Since 2.201 is less than 2.25, 2.201 is less than (9)/(4).

Convert to decimal: Convert the fraction $(9)/(4)$ to a decimal to make comparisons easier. $\newline$ Calculation: $(9)/(4) = 2.25$
Compare option A: Compare option A $(11)/(4)$ to $(9)/(4)$ . $\newline$ Calculation: $(11)/(4) = 2.75$ $\newline$ Since $2.75$ is greater than $2.25$ , $(11)/(4)$ is not less than $(9)/(4)$ .
Compare option B: Compare option B $(15)/(8)$ to $(9)/(4)$ . $\newline$ Calculation: $(15)/(8) = 1.875$ $\newline$ Since $1.875$ is less than $2.25$ , $(15)/(8)$ is less than $(9)/(4)$ .
Compare option C: Compare option $C$ $2.201$ to $(9)/(4)$ . $\newline$ Since $2.201$ is less than $2.25$ , $2.201$ is less than $(9)/(4)$ .
