Is it possible to determine which fraction is larger than another by using its numerator?
Example: 1/7 is larger than 1/9, but when the numerators are larger than 1, as in 3/7 and 4/9, can the larger fraction be determined by just using the numerators 3 and 4 without changing 3/7 and 4/9 to fractions
having the same denominator?
