The first one is correct. There is a VERY simple way you can do this Here is how. It's called the "Butterfly Method" (IDK if anyone calls it that, but I do!) So basically, you look at the numerator for one of your numbers, and the denominator of the other number, and you multiply them! So... 1/7, you would take the seven... 1/4, and multiply it by the one... so 7×1 and you get seven! Then you do... 1/7, take the one... 1/4, take the four... so 1×4 and you get four! Whichever one is bigger (or smaller, but only if you are trying to find out which fraction is smaller...) is your answer! Hope this helped!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
