Is 7/11 greater than 4/9

The tricks here is to focus on the denominator of the fraction.

First make both fractions have the same denominator.

7/11 has denominator 11

4/9 has denominator 9

Then for 7/11, multiply both the numerator and denominator by the denominator of the other fraction which is 9.

This will give:

= (7 x 9) / (11 x 9)

=63/99

Then for 4/9, multiply both the numerator and denominator by the denominator of the other fraction which is 11.

This will give:

= (4 x 11) / (9 x 11)

=44/99

Comparing the two fractions, you can see that 63/66 > 44/99. Thus 7/11 is greater.
