11/10 is closer because 7/8 is 1/8 from 1 and 11/10 is 1/10 from 1. Through simple calculations, 1/10 < 1/8.

1/10 * 10 = 1
1/8 * 10 = 10/8 = 5/4 = 1 1/4

We can see that 1/8 is 25 percent larger than 1/10

Therefore, 1/10 < 1/8

Since the difference is smaller for 11/10, 11/10 is closer to 1.

Answer=11/10

To see which is closer to 1, lets find the decimal form of the fractions.

7/8=0.875

11/10=1.1

Now lets see to difference of both decimals...

1-0.875=0.125

1-1.1=-0.1

So now we can say that

7/8 is 0.125 away from 1

11/10 is 0.1 away from 1

0.1 is a smaller number than 0.125, so 11/10 is closer to 1
