Answer: Please see answer in explanation column

Explanation:

Place value tells us how much value or the worth of a number. In a decimal number as such below, The numbers before the decimal point are whole numbers, while after the decimal number are regarded as fractions .

In the number 7.759,

The place value of One of the 7 represents 7 unit = 7.0

and the other 7 represents 7 tenths = 7/ 10 of unit= 0.7

We can see from above the the 7 unit, a whole number is greater than 7 tenths which is a fraction.
