Answer:
1 is larger
Step-by-step explanation:
It is helpful to recall what a fraction means. The denominator is the number of parts that you divide the units by. The numerator is the number of parts you take.
Divide 1 into 8 equal parts. Each part is 1/8. Now take 7 of those parts. You took 7/8. Since there are 8 parts in 1 and you only took 7 of them, you took less than 1. 7/8 means 7 parts out of 8.
That means that 7/8 is less than 1.
7/8 < 1
1 is larger
