Well, honey, let me break it down for you. To compare fractions, you need a common denominator. In this case, both fractions have a denominator of 5 times 4, which is 20. When you do the math, 4/5 is bigger than 3/4. So, 4 over 5 is the bigger fish in this pond.

Expressed as a decimal, 4/5 is equal to 0.8.
Expressed as a decimal, 3/4 is equal to 0.75.
Therefore, 4/5 is larger than 3/4.
3/5=21/35 4/7=20/35 3/5 is bigger by a small bit
There are infinite numbers like this but 3 over 5, 3 over 6 and 3 over 7 are smaller than 3 over 4 and bigger than 3 over 8.
3 over 5
3 over five 2/3 = 10/15, and 3/5 = 9/15. 2 over 3 (10/15) is obviously bigger than 3 over 5 (9/15).
2/5 = 4/10 so it is bigger than 3/10.
