Answer

(i) 36\dfrac{3}{6} and 56\dfrac{5}{6}

These are like fractions (same denominator 6).

In like fractions, the fraction with greater numerator is greater.

Since 3 < 5, therefore, 36<56\dfrac{3}{6} \lt \dfrac{5}{6}.

Hence, 36<56\dfrac{3}{6} \lt \dfrac{5}{6}.

(ii) 27\dfrac{2}{7} and 25\dfrac{2}{5}

These are unlike fractions with same numerator 2.

In fractions with same numerator, the fraction with smaller denominator is greater.

Since 7 > 5, therefore, 27<25\dfrac{2}{7} \lt \dfrac{2}{5}.

Hence, 27<25\dfrac{2}{7} \lt \dfrac{2}{5}.

(iii) 35\dfrac{3}{5} and 45\dfrac{4}{5}

These are like fractions (same denominator 5).

In like fractions, the fraction with greater numerator is greater.

Since 3 < 4, therefore, 35<45\dfrac{3}{5} \lt \dfrac{4}{5}.

Hence, 35<45\dfrac{3}{5} \lt \dfrac{4}{5}.

(iv) 47\dfrac{4}{7} and 49\dfrac{4}{9}

These are unlike fractions with same numerator 4.

In fractions with same numerator, the fraction with smaller denominator is greater.

Since 7 < 9, therefore, 47>49\dfrac{4}{7} \gt \dfrac{4}{9}.

Hence, 47>49\dfrac{4}{7} \gt \dfrac{4}{9}.
