Answer:
7/8
Explanation:
Find the least common denominator or LCM of the two denominators: LCM of 7 and 8 is 56.
Next, find the equivalent fraction of both fractional numbers with denominator 56.
•For the 1st fraction, since 7×8 = 56,
4/7 = 4×8/7×8
4/7 = 32/56
•Likewise, for the 2nd fraction, since 8×7 = 56,
7/8 = 7×7/8×7
7/8 = 49/56
Since the denominators are now the same, the fraction with the bigger numerator is the greater fraction. 32/56 < 49/56 or 4/7 < 7/8
Therefore, 7/8 is greater than 4/7.
