Solution

To find:
• From the given inequalities in the option choices, which one is true

Approach and Working:
We can convert the fractions into corresponding approximate decimal values to compare them as follows:
• $$\frac{1}{11} < 0.08 < \frac{1}{9}$$
o 0.09 < 0.08 < 0.11 Not true as 0.09 is not less than 0.08

• $$\frac{1}{10} < 0.11 < \frac{1}{8}$$
o 0.10 < 0.11 < 0.125 True

• $$\frac{1}{7} < 0.17 < \frac{1}{6}$$
o 0.142 < 0.17 < 0.167 Not true as 0.167 not greater than 0.17

• $$\frac{1}{5} < 0.26 < \frac{1}{4}$$
o 0.20 < 0.26 < 0.25 Not true as 0.25 not greater than 0.26

• $$\frac{1}{3} < 0.08 < \frac{1}{2}$$
o 0.33 < 0.08 < 0.5 Not true as 0.08 not greater than 0.33

Hence, the correct answer is option B.
