3/7>2/7
8/12 = 12/18
3/7>2/7 When the denominator are the same the fraction withe the Larger Numerator is larger or greater than the smaller fraction.
8/12 = 12/18 Select a common denominator for both fractions , which is 36 for both fractions. the first fraction 8/12 divide 12 into 36 equals 3. Multiply 3 X 8 equald 24. The fractions becomes 24/36. The second fraction 12/18 the common denominator is 36. divide 18 into 36 equals 2. Multiply 2 times 12 equals 24. The fraction becomes 24/36. The two fractions 8/12 = 12/18 are equal.

The following are true:
3/7 > 2/7 (three/sevenths are greater than two/sevenths)
and
12/18=8/12 (12/18 reduces to 2/3 - divide 12 and 18 by 6; 8/12 reduces to 2/3 - divide 8 and 12 by 4)

3/7>2/7.
8/12=12/18.
But do you know how to decide?
Out of any two fractions having the same denominator, the fraction with larger numerator is larger, and that with smaller numerator is smaller.
If the denominators are not equal we can re-write the fractions such that their denominators are equal. 8/12 and 12/18 can be easily found to be equal just by simplification.
