The easiest way to solve this problem is to solve the quotients and convert all fractions to decimal numbers, that way we can make an easier comparison:


\begin{gathered} (4)/(5)=0.8 \\ (15)/(2)=7.5 \\ (9)/(4)=2.25 \\ (12)/(3)=4 \end{gathered}

According to this the greater of the given numbers is 15/2.
