Question

Which of the following is true?
1. 76% 7/8
2. 76% 7/8
3. 76% = 7/8

Answer 1

After converting 7/8 into a percentage, which is 87.5%, we can see that 76% is less than 87.5%. Therefore, the correct statement is 76% < 7/8.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question requires us to determine the truth between the following statements:

1. 76% > 7/8
2. 76% < 7/8
3. 76% = 7/8

To compare the percentage to the fraction, we need to first convert the fraction 7/8 into a percentage. To convert a fraction to a percentage, we multiply by 100. So, 7/8 multiplied by 100 is 87.5%. Now, we can compare this to 76% directly.

Here we can see that 76% is less than 87.5%, which means that the correct statement is:

76% < 7/8
