Answer: 10/12

Step-by-step explanation: The fractions that we are comparing in this problem are unlike fractions since they have different denominators or (bottom numbers).

To compare unlike fractions, we must first get a common denominator.

The common denominator of 4 and 12 will be the

least common multiple of 4 and 12, which in this case is 12.

To get 3/4 to have a denominator of 12,

we can multiply top and bottom 3 to get 9/12.

Remember, if we multiply the top and bottom of a fraction by the same number, we aren't changing it's value, we're just multiplying it by 1.

So now we have 9/12 and 10/12 and since 10 > 9,

we know that 10/12 > 9/12 or 10/12 > 3/4.
