Answer:

d. 0.6 > 4/7

Explanation:

a. 1.5 > 5/3

From part a, it is given that 1.5 is greater than 5/3

changing 5/3 to decimal figure, we get 1.67

Thus, the claim that 1.5 > 1.67 is not valid because 1.67 is greater than 1.5

b. 2.5 < 0.25

given that 2.5 is less than 0.25 is not valid because 2.5 is greater than 0.25

c. 0.07 > 7/10

if we convert 7/10 to decimal figure, we get 0.7

the claim that 0.07 is greater than 0.7 is not valid because 0.7 is greater than 0.07

d. 0.6 > 4/7

If we convert 4/7 to decimal figure, we get 0.57

Therefore, the claim that 0.6 is greater than 0.57 is accurate and valid

Hence, Option d is the correct answer.
