In order to compare, let's bring them to the same form:

I choose a fraction.

[tex] \frac{7}{8} [/tex] and [tex] \frac{78}{100} [/tex]

I'll bring them to a common denominator: 400


[tex] \frac{7*50}{8*50} [/tex] and [tex] \frac{78*4}{100*4} [/tex]


[tex] \frac{350}{400} [/tex] and [tex] \frac{312}{400} [/tex]


and now we just need to compare 350 and 312: 350 is bigger, so 7/8 is bigger!
