Answer:
3/4 is bigger
Step-by-step explanation:
If we want to compare two fraction, we need the denominator to be the same. So we need the LCM (Lowest Common Multiple) of
4
and
3
which is
12
. So we need to multiply 4 to
3
and 3 to
4
Remember, whatever you do to the bottom has to be done to the top.
For
3
4
, we are multiplying 3 to the bottom (denominator) so we have to multiply
3
to the top (numerator).
For
2
3
we are multiplying
4
to the bottom so we have to multiply
4
to the top.

Now look just at the numerators of the two answers.
9
is greater than
8
so
9
12
is greater!
9
12
was originally
3
4
.
So
3/4
is greater than
2/3
.
