Answer: 1
Explanation:
Assuming you mean 7/8 (as a fraction) and 11/10 (as a fraction), we can change all the denominators to match each other.
First, we need to find the lowest common denominator that will fit both the fractions listed above. 1 will work with anything.
The lowest common denominator for 8 and 10 is 40. (7/8 and 11/10)
Now, for 8 to become 40, we must multiply both the top and bottom by 5.
7/8 * 5/5 = 35/40
This can work because if you multiply the top and bottom by 5, it can cancel out to be multiplying by 1. You need to make sure your fractions are equal.
Doing the same for 10 to become 40, it needs to be multiplied by 4.
11/10 * 4/4 = 44/40.
This follows the same reasoning as above.
As mentioned before, 1 will work with anything as it can just become 40/40, 20/20, 6/6, etc...
Comparing the differences-
Between 11/10 and 7/8: 44/40 - 35/40 = 9/40
Between 1 and 7/8: 40/40 - 35/40 = 5/40
As 5/40 is less than 9/40, 7/8 is closer to 1 than it is to 11/10.
