Falguni, please see the attached screenshot that illustrates the steps for cross multiplying in order to compare fractions. To compare 15/16 and 7/9, follow the steps in the diagram. Since 135 is larger than 112, 15/16 is larger than 7/9.

Carolina, you do the same procedure, comparing A with C, D, and E as we did comparing A with B.
