To find a number that makes the statement \( \frac{5}{7} \cdot \text{___} > \frac{5}{7} \) true, you can analyze the inequality.

  1. Divide both sides of the inequality by \( \frac{5}{7} \) (note that since \( \frac{5}{7} \) is positive, the direction of the inequality remains the same):

    \[ \text{___} > 1 \]

This means any number greater than \( 1 \) will satisfy the inequality.

For example:

  • If you choose \( 2 \), then: \[ \frac{5}{7} \cdot 2 = \frac{10}{7} \text{ which is greater than } \frac{5}{7}. \]

Therefore, any number greater than \( 1 \) (e.g., \( 1.1, 2, 10, \) etc.) will make the statement true.
