We can convert both ninths and sevenths into a common fraction, by multiplying nine by seven, to get 63. So, 4/9 = 28/63 and 3/7 = 27/63. You can then easily see that 28/63 is exactly 1/63 larger than 27/63. So it is true, 4/9 is indeed greater than 3/7. Not much greater, but slightly greater.

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