------------------------------------------------------
Change the denominators to be the same
------------------------------------------------------
5/ 8 = 5/8
7/4 = 14/8

Since the denominators are the same, the larger the numerator, the larger the fraction. Therefore 14/8 (7/4) is greater than 5/8.

14/8 > 5/8
7/4 > 5/8

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: The grasshopper that is 7/4 unit long is longer
