Question

what numerator makes the statement true? enter the correct answer in the box. \\(\frac{square}{8} < \frac{3}{4} < \frac{7}{8}\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Convert to common denominator

Convert $\frac{3}{4}$ to eighths: $\frac{3}{4} = \frac{3\times2}{4\times2} = \frac{6}{8}$

Step2: Identify valid numerator

Find $x$ such that $\frac{x}{8} < \frac{6}{8}$. This requires $x < 6$. Valid positive integers from the options are 1,2,3,4,5.

Answer:

1, 2, 3, 4, 5 (any of these values makes the statement true)
