7/4 can be expressed as


(7)/(4)=(7)/(4)\cdot(2)/(2)=(7\cdot2)/(4\cdot2)=(14)/(8)

3/4 can be expressed as


(3)/(4)=(3)/(4)\cdot(2)/(2)=(3\cdot2)/(4\cdot2)=(6)/(8)

Then, the fractions to compare are:

14/8, 4/8, 7/8, 6/8

We can order them only considering the numerators. from least to greatest value the ordered list is:

4/8, 6/8, 7/8, 14/8

or

4/8, 3/4, 7/8, 7/4
