Yes because if u have 72 minus 80 is 8 and 7 minus 8 is 1.U
have more left over than 7 out of two.

Yes, 72/80 is greater than 7/8. However, I feel that the original answer (above) gives and incorrect explanation, because:
1. 72 minus 80 equals negative 8, not 8.
2. 7 minus 8 equals negative 1, not 1.
3. The method used is completely wrong.
The correct explanation is:
7/8 = (7x10) / (8x10) = 70/80
Now that the denominators for both fractions are 80, you can compare the numerators.
72 is obviously greater than 70, so 72/80 is, of course, greater than 70/80.
Since 72/80 > 70/80,
72/80 > 7/8
