42/9 is much greater. 42/9 is the same as 4 and 7/9 (since 9 goes into 42 4 times with 7 left over). Since 5/9 is less than 1, clearly 42/9 is much greater.

7/9 alone would still be greater than 5/9. But since it's not just 7/9, but 4 and 7/9, it is obviously greater than 5/9.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
