Explanation:

We can use two different methods to check:

1) We can represent the 7/12 with a 36 as a denominator by multiplying both numerator and denominator by 3:

7*3/12*3 = 21/36;

Now, we can see that 21 > 19;

2)We also can operate both divisions to get:

7/12 = 0.5833 & 19/36 = 0.5277;

We also see that 0.5833 > 0.5277
