My favorite strategy is the criss cross method. \(\frac{2}{3} ? \frac{7}{8}\)
Take the numerator of the first fraction (2), and the denominator of the second fraction (8) and multiply them. The value 16 is now up on the left side, imaginary. (ALWAYS PUT THE PRODUCT ON THE SIDE WITH THE NUMERATOR) Now multiply the other diagonal. 3(7)=21. The 21 is on the right side. Now do 16 ? 21
Is it <, >, or =? The answer is <
