    A

    Step-by-step explanation:

    You first want to simplify the proportions:

    7:11 becomes 1:11/7

    16:25 becomes 1:25/16

    Now you find the LCM of the denominators of the copper which is 112 and that gets us to:

    176/112 and 175/112

    you see the numerator of the first one is bigger so the number is bigger so the awnser is A
