O>
O<
O=

Answer 1

3/4 > 4/7

Explanation:

1. Find the LCM of 4 and 7, which is 28

2. Take 3/4 and multiply the numerator and the denominator by 7 (because 7x4=28)

You will end up with 21/28

3. Take 4/7 and multiply the numerator and the denominator by 4 (because 4x7=28)

You will end up with 16/28

Now that the denominators are the same, the fraction with the bigger numerator is the greater fraction. Therefore, 3/4 is the greater than 4/7.
