Question

Which sign [ <,>,=] makes the statement 5/8 and 75% true

Answer 1

<

Explanation:

5/8 = 0.625

To convert that to a percentage, multiply by 100.

0.625 x 100 = 62.5

62.5 < 75

Answer 2

5/8<75%

Explanation:

5 divided by 8 is 0.625. In order to make this statement true, you have to convert 75% into a decimal, which is 0.75. Since 0.625 and 0.75 do not have the same amount of numbers, add a 0 on to 0.75's end. You get 0.750. Therefore, 0.625 is less than 0.750.

Convert 0.625 back to its original form.

Convert 0.750 back to its original form.

5/8

75%

Therefore, 5/8<75%

Hope this helps!
