To compare two fractoins in general it is useful to give them identical denominators. Therefore we write 1/2 = (1*9)/(2*9) = 9/18 and 3/9 = (3*2)/(9*2) = 6/18. It is easy to see that 9/18 must be bigger than 6/18, so 1/2 is bigger than 3/9 (which is more conveniently written as 1/3 in this specific case).
