Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

Let's try to understand what is greater and what is smaller than the number 75 \frac{7}{5}

Since the denominator is 5, both the larger and smaller numbers will also have a denominator of 5:

\frac{?}{5}<\frac{7}{5}<\frac{?}{5}

Now let's complete the numerators with numbers that will help us reach round numbers in fractions as follows:

\frac{5}{5}<\frac{7}{5}<\frac{10}{5}

We'll reduce the fractions as follows:

5:55:5=11=1 \frac{5:5}{5:5}=\frac{1}{1}=1

10:55:5=21=2 \frac{10:5}{5:5}=\frac{2}{1}=2

Therefore, the answer is:

1<\frac{7}{5}<2

Answer

between 1 1 to 2 2
