Place the correct symbol, < or >, between the two numbers.

      8/24   3/4

Expert Solution

First fraction is 8/24

Second fraction is 3/4

Comparison between these two fractions by conversation of fraction into decimals. 

8/24=1/3=0.3333

And

3/4=0.75

We easily compare 0.3333 and 0.7500 and observed that 0.3333<0.7500

Hence, 

(8/24) < (3/4)
