Agreen bottle holds 8 3/5 ounces of water. a blue bottle holds 8 6/7 ounces of water. which bottle holds more? write an inequality that compares the fractions.

Blue bottle holds more.

The  inequality that compares the fractions is:

The amount of water hold by  green bottle is:  8 3/5 ounces

which in simple fractions is given by:

and the amount of water hold by the blue bottle is: 8 6/7 ounces

which again in simple fractions is given by:

Now, in order to compare two fractions we need to make the denominator equal and the fraction with the higher numerator is larger then the fraction with smaller numerator.

Now, we know that the first fraction i.e.

( Since we multiplied the numerator and denominator by 7)

and the second fraction is given by:

( Since we multiplied the numerator and denominator by 5)

Since,

                          Hence, we get:

26 is 33.33% of 78

step-by-step explanation:

26 is what percent of 78?

26 is p% of 78

equation: y = p% * x

solving our equation for p

p% = y/x

p% = 26/78

p = 0.3333

convert decimal to percent:

p% = 0.3333 * 100 = 33.33%
