To determine which symbol would make the statement true, we need to compare the decimal equivalent of the fraction 42/53 with the decimal 0.8.

To convert the fraction 42/53 to a decimal, divide the numerator (42) by the denominator (53):

42 ÷ 53 = 0.7924528301886792

Now we compare this decimal (0.7924528301886792) with the decimal 0.8 given in the statement.

Since 0.8 is greater than 0.7924528301886792, the correct symbol to make the statement true is < (less than).

Therefore, the correct answer is:

42/53 < 0.8
