How do you find out if 5/4 is greater or less than 7/4

First off, 7/4 has more 4ths than 5/4 so that is greater, but second, you can convert the numbers into decimals, I can't remember how but by doing that you can have an easier way to compare them.

Hope this helps, if not, comment below please!!!!

Answer: 7/4 is greater

Step-by-step explanation: If you divide 7 by 4 you get 1.75. Then you divide 5 by 4 and you get 1.25. 1.75 is greater than 1.25. Also, if they have the same denominator, whichever has a higher numerator would be greater.
