Which sign makes the statement true? 14/6 7/8

Answer 1

To compare the fractions \( \frac{14}{6} \) and \( \frac{7}{8} \), we can convert them to a decimal form or find a common denominator.

1. Convert to decimal form:

   • \( \frac{14}{6} \approx 2.33 \)
   • \( \frac{7}{8} = 0.875 \)

2. Comparison:

   • \( 2.33 > 0.875 \)

Thus, the statement can be expressed as: \[ \frac{14}{6} > \frac{7}{8} \]

So, if you are looking for a comparison sign, the correct sign is: > (greater than).
