Find equivalent fractions to compare. Then, write \( >,< \), or \( = \). \( \begin{array}{l}\frac{7}{8} ? \frac{2}{4} \\ = \\ <\end{array} \)

To compare \(\frac{7}{8}\) and \(\frac{2}{4}\), we can convert \(\frac{2}{4}\) into an equivalent fraction with a common denominator. Since \(\frac{2}{4}\) simplifies to \(\frac{1}{2}\), we can express \(\frac{1}{2}\) using the denominator of 8: \(\frac{1}{2} = \frac{4}{8}\). Now that both fractions are in terms of the same denominator, we can compare them: \(\frac{7}{8} > \frac{4}{8}\). Thus, the answer is: \(\frac{7}{8} > \frac{2}{4}\).
