There are two ways to attack this.

If you have a calculator, you can divide 7/6 and then 9/8, and compare the two results:

7/6 = 1.1667; 9/8 = 1.1250.

Or you can make the fractions equivalent, by matching the denominators. The LCM (least common multiple) of 6 and 8 is 24; so:

7/6 x 4/4* = 28/24; 9/8 x 3/3* = 27/24.

Therefore, 7/6 is bigger.

* 4/4 and 3/3 both equal 1; and when you multiply anything by 1, you don't change its actual value.

Is five over six bigger or is seven over eight bigger?

7 over 8 The greatest common factor of 6 and 8 is 2. The least common multiple of 6 and 8 is 6 x 8 ÷ 2 = 24. Multiply the numerator and denominator of each fraction by the number that will make the denominator equal to 24. 5/6 x 4/4 = 20/24. 7/8 x 3/3 = 21/24 Since 21 > 20, then 7/8 > 5/6.
