Hi! This is a tutoring site, so please be sure to explain what you've already thought about or tell us what kind of help you need.

When they say "compare", they want to know which number is bigger and which is smaller.

2 2/11 is written as a mixed number. Rewrite it as an improper fraction.

Next, you need to get the denominators the same on both; then you may compare the numerators.

Do you know how to get a common denominator, when working with fifths and elevenths?

If you need to review, click HERE for lessons on how to do arithmetic with fractions.

Otherwise, give it another go or ask a specific question. If you're still stuck, please tell us why.

Cheers :cool:
