Explanation

To find the range of a set of numbers, we subtract the smallest value from the largest value.Given the set of numbers: 1/6, 1/3, 3/2, 2/3, 8/9, and 4/3.To find the smallest value, we can convert all the fractions to a common denominator:1/6 = 3/181/3 = 6/183/2 = 27/182/3 = 12/188/9 = 16/184/3 = 24/18The smallest value is 3/18.To find the largest value, we can observe that 27/18 is the largest value.Now, we can calculate the range:Range = Largest value - Smallest valueRange = 27/18 - 3/18Range = 24/18Range = 4/3Therefore, the range of the given set of numbers is 4/3.
