When two fractions have the same denominator, you can compare which fraction is greater by just comparing the numerators.
For example, if you have 2/5 and 3/5, the denominators are the same. So you can just look at the numerators. 3 is greater than 5, so 3/5 is greater than 2/5.

The reasoning to this is that the two numbers are divided by the same number (5), so you can compare the original numbers (numerators).
