Answer 1

6.) 37/50 > 37%
37% = 37/100, and we know that if the numerators are equal, the fraction with the larger denominator is smaller.

7.) 50% < 13/25
13/25 = 0.52, which is greater than 50%.

8.) 0.086 < 86%
0.086 = 8.6%, which is less than 86%.

9.) 76% > 0.67
0.67 = 67%, which is less than 76%.

10.) 60% < 5/8
5/8 = 0.625 = 62.5%, which is greater than 60%.

11.) 0.12 > 1.2%
0.12 = 12%, which is greater than 1.2%.

12.) 4/25 < 17%
4/25 = 0.16 = 16%, which is less than 17%.

13.) 140% > 0.14
0.14 = 14%, which is less than 140%.

14.) 1/3 > 30%
1/3≈0.33=33%, which is greater than 30%.

15.) 80% > 7/9
7/9≈0.77=77%, which is less than 80%.
