If you would like to know if 6/7 is greater than 6/8 = 3/4, you can calculate this using the following steps:

6/7 = 24/28
6/8 = 3/4 = 21/28

Result: 6/7 (= 24/28) is greater than 6/8 (= 21/28).

6/7 is greater than 6/8. Think of it in terms of pizza. 6/7, you are able to feed 7 people. 6/8, you are able to feed 8 with the pieces, but it is the same size pizza, meaning that the slices get smaller then more people you are able to feed with it, or the smaller the slice. or you could put it into a calculator.
