Q. Which sign makes the statement true?\newline912312\frac{9}{12} - \frac{3}{12} ? 1012212\frac{10}{12} - \frac{2}{12}\newlineChoices:\newline(A) >>\newline(B) <<\newline(C) ==
  1. Simplify Equation: Simplify both sides of the equation to find which sign makes the statement true. 912312=612\frac{9}{12} - \frac{3}{12} = \frac{6}{12}, and 1012212=812\frac{10}{12} - \frac{2}{12} = \frac{8}{12}.
  2. Convert to Lowest Terms: Convert simplified fractions to their lowest terms. 612\frac{6}{12} reduces to 12\frac{1}{2}, and 812\frac{8}{12} reduces to 23\frac{2}{3}.
  3. Compare Simplified Fractions: Compare the two simplified fractions. 12\frac{1}{2} is less than 23\frac{2}{3}, so the correct sign is <.
