5/6 would be the best answer beside the other 2 choices that you have

According to the question, if you graph this on a number line, it basically means any number that is greater than
(1)/(2) (arrow points to the right is all numbers greater than).

Open circle means that
(1)/(2) is not included.

So we are looking for the option that is greater than
(1)/(2).

If we divide the choices and make them decimal numbers, it is very easy to see which is the correct answer.


(3)/(8) =0.375


(1)/(2) =0.5


(5)/(6) =0.83

Clearly,
(5)/(6) is greater than
(1)/(2). So third answer choice is correct.


ANSWER:
(5)/(6)
