To compare fractions, we need to have the same denominator
The least common multiple is 16

(11)/(16)
to change
(3)/(4), we should multiply the numerator and denominator by 4

(3*4)/(4*4) =
(12)/(16)


(11)/(16) <
(12)/(16)

so basically,
(12)/(16) is greater than
(11)/(16)
which means
(3)/(4) is greater


(3)/(4) is greater
