Answer:

the answer to that is because is if you were to have had a pie and got one piece from the 1/10 pie and 1/7 pizza you would see that 1/7 is bigger it is a bigger proportion just as if you were to split something with 10 people you would get less but if you split something between 7 people you would get more of whatever this is

1/10 is smaller if you think about it as making smaller pieces to get 10 pieces and bigger pieces to make 7 or you can think of it as 1/7 being closer to 0 than 1/10 is. Or you can convert them to decimal 0.14 (1/7) and 0.1 (1/10)
