Answer:

4/7

Explanation:

Given 5/12 and 4/7

we see that a common denominator for both fractions could be 12 x 7 = 84, hence we can express both fractions with a denominator of 84

5/12 = (5/12) x (7/7) = 35/84

4/7 = (4/7) x (12/12) = 48/84

now comparing 35/84 and 48/84, we can see that 48/84 is larger, which corresponds to 4/7, hence 4/7 is larger
