Which sign makes the statement true? 1/ 8 ? 2 /5 (1 point) Responses < < >

Answer 1

To determine which sign makes the statement true, we need to compare \(\frac{1}{8}\) and \(\frac{2}{5}\).

1. Convert both fractions to decimal form:

   • \(\frac{1}{8} = 0.125\)
   • \(\frac{2}{5} = 0.4\)

2. Now compare the two decimal values:

   • \(0.125 < 0.4\)

So, the correct sign to make the statement true is:

\(\frac{1}{8} < \frac{2}{5}\)

The answer is <.
