cheap way to know, is make them both the same denominator, by simply multiplying one fraction top and bottom by the denominator of the other, so let's do so then,


\bf \cfrac{3}{11}\cdot \cfrac{7}{7}\implies \boxed{\cfrac{21}{77}}\qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \cfrac{2}{7}\cdot \cfrac{11}{11}\implies \boxed{\cfrac{22}{77}}

so, surely you can see who's larger.
