Choose the symbol that correctly compares these mixed numbers .

B. <

Step-by-step explanation:

The whole parts are equal since they are both 9.

We just need to compare the fractions 3/8 and 5/7.

The LCD is 8 * 7 = 56

3/8 = 21/56

5/7 = 40/56

3/8 < 5/7

9 3/8 < 9 5/7

7.25

step-by-step explanation:

we have

using a graphing tool

see the attached figure

this is a quadratic equation (vertical parabola) open up

the vertex is a > vertex

the domain of the function is all real > interval (-∞,∞)

the range of the function is the > [-6.125,∞)

the function has two x->   and

the function is increasing over the > (0.25,∞)

the function is decreasing over the > (-∞,0.25)
