Answer:

Explanation:

3/4 and 8/9 both lie between 0 and 1. Their LCD is 36.

Thus, 3/4 = 27/36 and 8/9 = 32/36.

Dividing the number line between 0 and 1 into 36 equal lengths, plot a dot at the 27th such mark and then another dot at the 32nd mark.

This clearly shows that 32/36 is larger than 27/36.
