Since we are asked which one is colder, then we can assume that the given fractions are express in the units of temperature. Now to determine which one is colder, we simply must need to take a look on the values of each fraction. When we are tracking which one is colder, this means that the fraction with a lower value is the one that is colder.
The first step is to change the fractions to decimals by simply dividing.
41/50 = 0.82
9/11 = 0.81818181
10/11= 0.9090909
It can be seen that 9/11 is colder than 41/50, but 41/50 is colder than 10/11, therefore we conclude that 41/50 is colder than 10/11
Final answer:
41/50 is colder than 10/11
