Let’s go through each fraction comparison one by one. We’re comparing fractions that have the same bottom number (denominator), so we only need to look at the top numbers (numerators) to decide which is bigger.
Remember:
- If the first numerator is bigger → use “>”
- If they’re equal → use “=”
- If the second numerator is bigger → use “<”

1. 3/4 vs 1/4
Same denominator (4). Compare numerators: 3 > 1 →
3/4 > 1/4
2. 1/3 vs 2/3
Same denominator (3). Compare numerators: 1 < 2 →
1/3 < 2/3
3. 5/8 vs 7/8
Same denominator (8). Compare numerators: 5 < 7 →
5/8 < 7/8
4. 2/7 vs 4/7
Same denominator (7). Compare numerators: 2 < 4 →
2/7 < 4/7
5. 6/9 vs 4/9
Same denominator (9). Compare numerators: 6 > 4 →
6/9 > 4/9
6. 9/10 vs 3/10
Same denominator (10). Compare numerators: 9 > 3 →
9/10 > 3/10
7. 4/4 vs 2/4
Same denominator (4). Compare numerators: 4 > 2 →
4/4 > 2/4
8. 3/5 vs 2/5
Same denominator (5). Compare numerators: 3 > 2 →
3/5 > 2/5

Final Answer:
3/4 > 1/4
1/3 < 2/3
5/8 < 7/8
2/7 < 4/7
6/9 > 4/9
9/10 > 3/10
4/4 > 2/4
3/5 > 2/5
