To complete the explanation for the statement:
6/7 is greater than 7/8.
I know this because the parts in 6/7 are more than the parts in 7/8, so 6/7 is greater than 1 than 7/8 is.
Explanation: To compare the fractions, you can convert them to decimals or find a common denominator. 6 divided by 7 equals approximately 0.857, while 7 divided by 8 equals 0.875. Since 0.857 is less than 0.875, it shows that 6/7 is actually less than 7/8, contrary to my initial completion of the statement. Thus, a correct statement would be:
6/7 is less than 7/8.
