How do you figure out if one fraction is more/larger than another fraction?

There are several ways,
One, which is easiest, is to divide them, if the result is greater than 1, then the fraction at the numerator is larger. If the answer is less than 1, then the fraction at the denominator is larger.
Another way, is to try making both fractions have the same denominator and compare; the one with greater numerator is the larger fraction.

Hope this helps!
