fractions are parts
7/9 means 7 parts out of 9 possible parts
8/9 means 8 parts out of 9 possible parts
8 is greater than 7 so
7/9 is less than 8/9
7/9<8/9

I know
(7)/(9) as a decimal is 0.7777778 and I know
(8)/(9) as a decimal is 0.88889. Which one is bigger? 0.7778 or 0.8889. 0.8889 is bigger so your answer is 7/9<8/9
