Question

Which is bigger, 7/8" or 9/16"?

Answer 1

7/8 is bigger because if you multiply it by 2 it is 14/16 so it is bigger than 9/16

Answer 2

7/8 and 9/16

7*2/8*2 = 14/16

14/16 and 9/16

Now since we have a common denominator, we can compare the numerators.

14/16 is greater, so 7/8 is greater than 9/16

Answer: 7/8 is bigger
