Two ways: convert them to decimals or convert them to similar fractions and compare the numerators.
To compare fractions, convert both of them to a common denominator.
It may be simplest to convert them all to a common form: rational fractions, decimal fractions or percentages and then compare them. When you are more expert, you may be able to convert them pairwise into a common basis and compare.
The usual method is to convert the fractions to equivalent fractions with a common denominator. Then you can simply compare the numerators. You can also convert each of the fractions to a decimal - this can easily be done with a calculator, simply divide the numerator by the denominator.
Only Fractions with a Common Denominator can be directly compared.
