Answer:

6/7 = 66/77

9/11 = 63/77

6/7 is greater than 9/11

Explanation:

To give fractions a common denominator you must find the LCM(lowest common multiple) of this two denominators.

So, we have 7 and 11. You must find a multiple 7 and 11 share. This means that the number must be divisible by 7 and 11. The LCM for 7 and 11 is 77.

Now we make both the denominators 77.

Now look at the numerators. Look at 6/7. We multipled 7 by 11 to get 77. Therefore, we must also multiply 6 by 11.

Now we have, 66/77

Do the same with the other fraction but other way around:

11 x 7 so

9 x 7 = 63

So,

63/77

So 6/7 is now 66/77 and 9/11 is now 63/77

Now compare:

66 > 63

66 is bigger so 6/7 is greater.

6/7 is greater than 9/11
