The answer is D

To find the percent of each fraction divide the top of the fraction by the bottom

1/2 is 0.5 so anything above 0.5 is right so if you do the math…

3 divided by 7= 0.43 so A is not right since it’s not over 0.5
7 divided by 16 = 0.44 so B is not right since it’s not over 0.5
1 divided by 8 = 0.13 so C is not right because it’s not over 0.5
9 divided by 16 = 0.56 so that is right because it is over 0.5

Do D is the right answer.
