Question: 

In the previous question where we compared two fractions, we had (3 / 1) _ (5 / 9). Now, consider a change in the second number we are comparing. Instead of (5 / 9), we now have (5 / 5).

Compare these two fractions: 
(3 / 1) _ (5 / 5)

Hint: Fill the blank with one of the following: <, >, or =.
