Hi there!

I believe your answer is:

1 (15/16)

»»————-　★　————-««

Here’s why:

⸻⸻⸻⸻

`\boxed{\text{Converting the Fractions...}}\\\\\rightarrow (1)/(2)=(1*8)/(2*8)= \boxed{(8)/(16)}\\\\\text{We would only compare the fractions because we have the same whole number.}\\\\(8)/(16) <(15)/(16)\\\\\text{Therefore:}\\\\\boxed{1(15)/(16) >1(1)/(2)}`

⸻⸻⸻⸻

Hope this helps you. I apologize if it’s incorrect.
