What Do you Think?

idk

One way to deal with fractions is to convert them all to decimals. (Using your calculator, divide the numerator by the denominator). In this case all you would need to do is to see which is greater than 0.5. Otherwise to see which is greater than ½, double the numerator and see if the result is greater than the denominator. In B, the correct answer, doubling the numerator gives us 8, which is bigger than 7.
