To compare two fractions, find a common denominator, then convert each fraction to equivalent fractions with that common denominator. Finally, you compare the numerators.

5/6 or 7/12

Bring to a common denominator of '12' in this case.

10/12 & 7/12

Compare the numerators

10> 7

Hence

10/12 > 7/12

It follows

5/6 > 7/12
