Answer:
8/17<9/17
Step-by-step explanation:
Might be wrong with my answer but my logic was that if there are 9 students who prefer math and 8 who prefer science, that there are 17 students total. If there are 17 students total the denominator should be 17. Since 8 of them prefer science, we can write that as 8/17 because 8 out of the 17 students prefer science. Similarly we can write the number of students who prefer math as 9/17 because there are 9 students out of 17 who do.
