Question: what is greater than 1/2 and less than 3/4?
Answer: 3/4 is bigger. so 3 parts out of 4 is larger than 2 parts out of 4, so 3.4 is bigger than 1/2. A simple rule to compare fractions is to choose the LCM of the denominators of the 2 fractions. SO when you compare the numerators of thse fractions with the same denominator, the larger of the 2 numerators is bigger.
