To compare % and ¾, we can convert them both to decimals or both to fractions.

Method 1: Converting to decimals

% = 0.01 x % value

So, % = 0.01 x 100 = 1

¾ = 0.75

Now, we can compare the decimals: 1 > 0.75

Therefore, % is greater than ¾.

Method 2: Converting to fractions

% = 100%

So, % = 100/100 = 1

¾ = 6/8 (we can simplify by dividing both numerator and denominator by 2)

Now we can compare the fractions:

100/100 > 6/8

By cross multiplying, we get:

100 x 8 > 6 x 100

800 > 600

Therefore, % is greater than ¾.

Answer: Using both methods, we have shown that % is greater than ¾.
