This question is equivalent to the following. If you can answer the following, you can answer your original question.

Which number is greater: 4 or 7?

If the fractions have the SAME denominator, the fraction with the GREATER numerator is the GREATER between them.

If they do not have the same denominator, you have to convert them into similar fractions first ( Get their Least common multiple) or LCD

its rather obvious its 7/12 right?

7/12

Think about it !!!!

7/12 > 4/12

7/12 is greater.

4/12 - 7/12
= -3/12 (negative)

7/12 - 4/12
= 3/12 (positive)

∴ 7/12 is greater.

if the namers (bottom numbers) are both the same and the counters (top numbers) are different, then the one with the highest top number is greater.

if the counters (top numbers) are the same and the namers (bottom numbers) are different, then the one with the lowest bottom number is greater.

It is a common mistake, you aren't stupid.

therefore 7/12 is greater.

4/12 = 0.333
7/12 = 0.583

I hope you understand now!
