Answer:

No

Explanation:

Is 3/4 less than 7/8? Is 3/4 smaller than 7/8? These are the same questions with one answer.

To get the answer, we first convert each fraction into decimal numbers. We do this by dividing the numerator by the denominator for each fraction as illustrated below:

3/4 = 0.75

7/8 = 0.875

Then, we compare the two decimal numbers to get the answer.

0.75 is less than 0.875.

Therefore, 3/4 is less than 7/8 and the answer to the question "Is 3/4 less than 7/8?" is yes.
