to compare3/8 and 9/16 what equivalent fraction could you find?

I found 3/8 = 6/16
If you note that 16 is twice of 8, then
3/8=6/16 which can be compared with 9/16.

If you only need to know which one is bigger, you may notice that 3/8 is smaller than half, and 9/16 is larger than half, so the comparison will be obvious without any calculations.
