To determine which sign makes the statement true, we can compare the two values: \( \frac{1}{2} \) and \( 0.75 \).
First, let's convert \( \frac{1}{2} \) to decimal form:
\[ \frac{1}{2} = 0.5 \]
Now we have the following comparison:
\[ 0.5 \quad ? \quad 0.75 \]
Since \( 0.5 \) is less than \( 0.75 \), we can use the less than sign "<" to complete the statement:
\[ \frac{1}{2} < 0.75 \]
Therefore, the true statement is:
\[ \frac{1}{2} < 0.75 \]
