Step-by-step solution

Since the denominator is 8, both the larger and smaller numbers will also have a denominator of 8:

?8<78<?8 \frac{?}{8}<\frac{7}{8}<\frac{?}{8}

Now let's complete the numerators with numbers that will help us reach whole numbers or half numbers in fractions as follows:

48<78<88 \frac{4}{8} < \frac{7}{8} < \frac{8}{8}

Next, we will simplify the fractions as follows:

4:48:4=12 \frac{4:4}{8:4}=\frac{1}{2}

8:88:8=11=1 \frac{8:8}{8:8}=\frac{1}{1}=1

Therefore, the answer is:

12<78<1 \frac{1}{2}<\frac{7}{8}<1
