Question

Is 3/8 larger than 3/4?

Answer 1

No, 3/4 is larger since if you used a common denominator of 8, 3/4 would be 6/8 and 3/8 would remain 3/8.

Answer 2

Multiply $\frac{3}{4}$ by 2 to get a common denominator.

That'll then show you that $\frac{3}{4}$ is bigger, as:

$\frac{3}{4}$ × 2 = $\frac{6}{8}$

and,

$\frac{6}{8}$ is bigger than $\frac{3}{8}$
