Determine which one is closer to 1,
7/8 or 11/10
Solution:
In order to determine which one is close, we simply need to change the fractions to decimals. To do so we divide the numerator with the denominator.
7/8 = 0.875
11/10 = 1.1
It can be seen that 11/10 is close to one since it is only .1 more than 1, while 7/8 is .125 lesser than 1.
Final answer:
11/10 is closer to 1
