14/17 is greater. You coul use calculator, or compare this manually, i.e.
14/17 vs 0.815
0.815 = 815/1000 = (163x5)/(200x5)
since fives cancel each other...
= 163/200
This is as far as we could go with 0.815, so it's time to find which numbers have common denominator and than compare them. 17 and 200 obviously don't have anything incommon, so let's multiply each number with 1 (a/a) to create the smallest common denominator:
14/17 x 200/200 = (14x200)/(17x200) = 2800/3400
163/200 x 17/17 = (163x17)/(200x17) = 2771/3400
Now you have it:
denominators are the same, so we compare 2800 to 2771 - you know the answer.
Full answer:
2800/3400 (aka 14/17) is greater (aka >) than 2771/3400 (aka 0.815)
check:
2800/3400 <=> 28/34 <=> 14/17
2771/3400 <=> 163/200 x 5/5 <=> (163x5)/(200x5) <=> 815/1000 <=> 0.815
