Let's start with a) Of course they are not equal. If you give them a common denominator (63), you will have 54/63 and 56/63; b) 6/7 = 54/63 and 54/63 is not > 56/63; c)54/63 < 56/63, so yes, it's true; d) what the heck is preparred with two r's?

get common denominators
6/7=6*9/7*9=54/63
8/9=8*7+9*7=56/63
56/63>54/63 so 8/9 >6/7
c..6/7 is less than 8/9 is true
