The problem asks us to compare $44.73\%$ and $\frac{41}{64}$ and determine the correct inequality symbol to make the statement true.

1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to compare $44.73\%$ and $\frac{41}{64}$ and determine the correct inequality symbol to make the statement true.

2. Solution Steps

First, convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing by 100:

$44.73\% = \frac{44.73}{100} = 0.4473$

Next, convert the fraction $\frac{41}{64}$ to a decimal by dividing 41 by 64:

$\frac{41}{64} = 0.640625$

Now we compare the two decimal values:

$0.4473$ and $0.640625$.

Since $0.4473 < 0.640625$, we can say that $44.73\% < \frac{41}{64}$.

3. Final Answer
