This can be done by changing the fraction to a decimal.
So, 3/8 will equal out to 0.375. 1/4 is 0.25. 0.375 is greater than 0.25.

I/You ate more of a pie than my/your sister.

You ate more pie, if you multiply the fraction by two to make it to where it has the same denominator then it would be 3/8 against 2/8. 3/8 is greater than 2/8
