Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

if you used a compound statement, it would look like this.

2/7 < 1/2 < 5/8

One half is bigger than 2/7. It is much closer to 1/4 than 1/2. 1/4 = 2/8 so 2/7 is just a little bit less than that.

On the other hand 1/2 is just smaller than 5/8. 1/2 = 4/8 so you can see that 1/2 is less than 5/8.
