, so the statement is True.

Explanation:

Step 1: Finding the decimal form of
(8)/(11)

Upon simplification on a calculator, we can see that the exact value of
(8)/(11) is:

0.7272727273

Let's round this to
0.73 for an easier time.

Step 2: Identifying the value's difference from 1 and 0

We have found the value of the fraction to be
0.73 .

If we subtract the value from
, we get:

$1-0.73\\=0.27$

If we find the difference between it and
, we get:

$0.73-0\\=0.73$

As we can see, the value is
0.27 units away from
, but is
0.73 units away from
.

We can clearly see that it is closer to
, so the statement is True.
