$\frac{7}{8}$

#### Explanation:

In order to find which number is greater, you need to find a common denominator which in this case would be $8$.

In order to get $8$ as the denominator for $\frac{3}{4}$ you multiply $\frac{3}{4}$ by $\frac{2}{2}$ and get

$\frac{3}{4} \times \frac{2}{2} = \frac{6}{8}$

which is less than $\frac{7}{8}$

$\frac{6}{8} < \frac{7}{8}$

A = $\frac{7}{8}$

#### Explanation:

The way we would calculate this answer is by first finding a common denominator (the number below the vinculum) and then seeing which numerator has the highest value.

= $\frac{3}{4}$ and $\frac{7}{8}$
= $\frac{3 \cdot 8}{4 \cdot 8}$ and $\frac{7 \cdot 4}{8 \cdot 4}$
= $\frac{24}{32}$ and $\frac{28}{32}$
= $\frac{28}{32}$ is the bigger number

All the best!

7/8

#### Explanation:

There are 2 ways to work this out. You can either

• multiply 3 & 4 by 2 so that 3/4 becomes 6/8 to compare with 7/8
(Finding a common denominator will always help simplify things)

• simply draw it out like a pizza with slices :)
