Five-sixths is bigger than two-sevenths.

5/6 = 0.8333

2/7 = 0.2857

Another way is change each fraction so they have a common denominator.

multiply 5/6 by 7 = 35/42

multiply 2/7 by 6 = 12/42

now you can see 35/42 is bigger than 12/42 so 5/6 is the biggest.

Another way is to think about both fractions, 2/7 is less than a half but 5/6 is more than a half so 5/6 must be the biggest.

How many numbers between 1 and 100 have 5 ones?

None. No number between 1 and 100 has 5 of any digit.This is incorrect.

Al these numbers have five ones in the ones column.
