Question

Which is bigger 7/8 or 0.78

Answer 1

In order to compare, let's bring them to the same form:

I choose a fraction.


`(7)/(8)` and
`(78)/(100)`

I'll bring them to a common denominator: 400



`(7*50)/(8*50)` and
`(78*4)/(100*4)`



`(350)/(400)` and
`(312)/(400)`


and now we just need to compare 350 and 312: 350 is bigger, so 7/8 is bigger!
