check the picture below

hmmm so, notice the arrows, if we simply multiply top and bottom of one fraction by the other's denominator, we end up with two fractions, with the same denominator

now, what can be between 49/56 and 24/56

well, 25/56, or 26/56 or 48/56 or 39/56 and so on

once the denominators are the same, is just a matter of which numerator is larger or smaller, to see who is who
