Which of the following is the greatest value?

A. 74÷95

B. 7/8

C. 0.72

D. 74%

Answer Explanation:

To solve this problem, we need to have all options in fraction form.

74  95 = 

7/8 = 3/8

0.72 = 72/100

74% = 74/100

Now, find the least common denominator of 95, 8, and 100. The least common denominator is 3800, which we multiply by each fraction as follows:

74/95*3800=2960

7/8*3800=3325

72/100*3800=2736

74/100*3800=2812

We can see that the fraction 7/8 is the greatest among the given options.

Therefore, the Correct Answer is B.
