Solution

Given fractions: $\frac{7}{8}$ and $\frac{9}{8}$
In two or more fractions, if denominator are same, then the fraction with the smaller numerator is smaller.
Thus, $\frac{7}{8} < \frac{9}{8}$ [ $∵ 7 < 9$ and the denominators of the two fractions are same]
Hence, $\frac{9}{8}$ is a greater fraction.
