1/4 and 1/15. 1/4 is greater because there is less fourths in a whole than fifteenths.

to know which fraction is greater than another is to first look at the denominator

example

(1)/(5) > (1)/(8)

if u look at the denominator the one with the highest denominator is the smallest and then you look at the numerator to imagine if its closer to the denominator or farther away from the denominator.
