Yup, DragonSlayer got it.
If it helps you, think of pizzas!
5/4 is really 4/4 (or 1) + 1/4, or 1 and 1/4.
So now, would you rather have 3/4's of a pizza, or 1 and 1/4 of a pizza?
I know I'd rather have the 1 and 1/4's of a pizza!
We can see by this picture that 1 and 1/4's of a pizza is bigger than 3/4's of a pizza, so 5/4 is greater than 3/4.
Change 5/4 into 1 1/4.
Now, complete the statement.
3/4<1 1/4
So, 5/4 is GREATER THAN 3/4.
