Answer:

1 3/4

Explanation:

Well, in order to figure this out, we need to convert 3/4 into eighths. We know that 4 times 2 is equal to 8, so we multiply both the numerator and denominator by 2, to equal 6/8. And now because they have the same denominator we can tell that 1 3/4 is bigger than 1 2/8.
