Question

UpStudy AI · Accepted Answer

To determine which inequality sign makes the statement $$ 11.3\% \, ? \, \frac{12}{32} $$ true, let's compare the two values.

1. **Convert 11.3% to a Decimal:**
   $$
   11.3\% = \frac{11.3}{100} = 0.113
   $$

2. **Convert $$\frac{12}{32}$$ to a Decimal:**
   $$
   \frac{12}{32} = 0.375
   $$

3. **Compare the Two Decimals:**
   $$
   0.113 \, ? \, 0.375
   $$

Clearly,
   $$
   0.113 < 0.375
   $$

Therefore, the correct inequality sign is **"less than"**.

**Final Statement:**
$$
11.3\% < \frac{12}{32}
$$
$$ 11.3\% < \frac{12}{32} $$
