1. 3/4 is equal to 6/8 so then it is easier to see that it is greater than 3/8.
2. You need to get them to have common denominators first. 2/3 is 16/24 and 2/8 is 6/24.  So then it is clear that 2/3 is greater than 2/8.
3. Since these already have the same denominator then you can see that 3/4 is greater than 1/4.
4. 7/8 is greater than 2/8
5. You need to make 3/4 into a common denominator so it becomes 6/8 so then you can see that 7/8 is larger.

Hope that helps.
