The next step is to reduce the fraction to the lowest

$\begin{gathered} \frac{21}{36\text{ }}\text{ and }\frac{4}{50} \\ \end{gathered}$$\begin{gathered} \frac{21}{36} \\ 3\text{ is a multiple both 21 and 36} \\ \frac{\cancel{21}}{\cancel{36}}\text{ = }\frac{7}{12} \\ \\ \frac{4}{50} \\ \text{ 2 is a multiple of 4 and 50} \\ \frac{\cancel{4}}{\cancel{50}}=\text{ }\frac{2}{25} \\ \\ \text{Therefore, } \\ \frac{7}{12}\text{ > }\frac{2}{25} \end{gathered}$
