Answer:

4 : 3 > 7 : 9

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to compare two ratios or fractions, we make their denominators equal and then equate their numerators.

[tex]4 : 3 = \frac{4}{3} = \frac{4 \times 3}{3 \times 3} = \frac{12}{9} \\ \\ 7 : 9 = \frac{7}{9} \\ \\ \because \: 12 > 7 \\ \\ \therefore \: \frac{4}{3} > \frac{7}{9} \\ \\ \implies \: 4 : 3 > 7 : 9[/tex]
