2 over 5 is larger than 2 over 7. With a fixed numerator, the larger the denominator, the smaller the fraction becomes.

Think like this: compare 1/5 and 1/7. With one seventh, it takes 7 of them to make a whole. With one fifth, it only takes 5 to make the same whole, so each one is bigger.

So if 1/5 > 1/7, then take two of each and two-fifths are greater than two-sevenths.
