B:<

Step-by-step explanation:

You can solve this question with fractions. The way I did it was by changing both equations into fractions like this: 6:7=6/1x1/7=6/7 and 7:8=7/1x1/8=7/8. Since they don't have a common denomintor and you still dont know which fraction is bigger/smaller, we are going to find a common denominator which is 56. After converting both fractions, (6/7=48/56 and 7/8=49/56) Now you can see that 7/8 is bigger than 6/7, which shows that 6:7<7:8.
