9/8> 11/12 what benchmark fraction is the closest

We can have more info about those fractions if we take them to share the same denominator, for that we use the minimum common multiple of 8 and 12 which is 96, so we multiply and divide each fraction for a certain number that gets the fraction to denominator 96:
9/8 = (12/12)(9/8) = 12*9/12*8 = 108/96
11/12 = (8/8)(11/12) = 8*11/8*12 = 88/96
So we can write the equivalence:
9/8 > 11/12
108/96 > 88/96
we can see that the inequality is true, there are a lot of fractions yet to have them closest, 108 to 88
