Question

Compare. Use <, >, or =.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{140}{130} = 1.07692308 \approx \: 1.08 \\ \\ 104\% = \frac{104}{100} = 1.04 \\ \\ \because \: 1.08 > 1.04 \\ \\ \therefore \: \frac{140}{130} > 104\%$

Thus, option A > is the correct answer.

Answer 2

Answer:

A. >

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to compare $\[\frac{140}{130}\]$ and 104%.

Simplifying the first term

$\[\frac{140}{130}\]$

= $\[\frac{14}{13}\]$

Expressing it in decimal form,

= $\[1.077\]$

Now,let us consider the second term, 104%

This can be expressed as $\[\frac{104}{100}\]$.

In decimal form this is equal to $\[1.04\]$

Clearly the first term is greater than the second term. So option A is the correct option.
