Kira's fish caught more the first step to find the answer is find the common denominator so Floyds fish weighed 2/3 and Kira's was 7/8 take 8 X 3 = 24 so 24 is the common denominator now you have to take 2 X 8 = 16 and 7 X 3 = 21 so Floyds fish is 16/24 and Kira's is 21/24 making Kira's the bigger fish
