Answer:

No

Explanation:

7/10 has to have the same denominater in order to compare the two fractions. The LCD of 10 and 4 is 20.

In order to get 20, you have to times 2 to both the numerator and the denominater, which is 14/20.

In order to get 20, you have to times 5 to both the 2 and the 4, which is 10/20.

14/20 > 10/20.

Hope this helps!
