They both have the same value so one is not greater than the other

Explanation:

A fraction consists of: ("count")/("size indicator")->("numerator")/("denominator")

You can not directly compare counts unless the size indicators are the same.

Multiply by 1 and you do not change the value. However 1 comes in many forms so you can change the way a number looks without changing its true value.

color(green)([3/5color(red)(xx1)]" compare to "9/15

color(green)([3/5color(red)(xx3/3)]" compare to "9/15

" "color(green)(9/15" compare to "9/15

They both have the same value so one is not greater than the other
