Step-by-step explanation:

We are given 2 fractional numbers:

We have to use fraction strips to compare to the fractional numbers.

Let we are Comparing with the length of number of sections.

i.e.

Let we are Comparing with the length of number of sections.

i.e.

Now, let us have a look at 3rd part of question:

The sections of 2/4 is _____ the length of 5/8. Therefore, 2/4 < 5/8

Let the answer be .

So, the equation becomes:

So, the answers are:
