Answer: Choice B

Step-by-step explanation

Writing
(1)/(4) is the same as writing 1/4 on a keyboard.

Use a calculator or long division to say the following:

  • 1/4 = 0.25
  • 1/2 = 0.50
  • 6/8 = 0.75

We see that 1/4 is smaller than 1/2 (since 0.25 < 0.50), so that takes care of the first part of choice B.

6/8 = 0.75 is somewhat close to 1, depending how accurate you want to be.
