3/4 is greater than 7/10.

Find the least common denominator or LCM of the two denominators:

LCM of 4 and 10 is 20

For the 1st fraction, since 4 × 5 = 20,

3 /4=

3 × 5

4 × 5 =

15 /20

Likewise, for the 2nd fraction, since 10 × 2 = 20,

7 /10 =

7 × 2

10 × 2 =

14 /20

Since the denominators are now the same, the fraction with the bigger numerator is the greater fraction

15 /20 > 14 /20 or 3 /4 > 7 /10
