On a vocabulary list, 5/10 of the words are nouns and 6/12 of the words are verbs. Which pair of statements correctly compares the fraction of the words on the vocabulary list that are nouns to the fraction that are verbs?

A. Since 5 < 6, then 5/10 < 6/12

So, there are fewer nouns than verbs on the vocabulary list.

B. Since 1/10 > 1/12 , then 5/10 > 6/12 .

So, there are more nouns than verbs on the vocabulary list.

C. Since 5/10 = 7/12 and 7 > 6, then 5/10 > 6/12.

So, there are more nouns than verbs on the vocabulary list.

D. Since 5/10 = 1/2 and 6/12 = 1/2, then 5/10 = 6/12.

So, there are equal numbers of nouns and verbs on the vocabulary list.

D. Since 5/10 = 1/2 and 6/12 = 1/2, then 5/10 = 6/12.
