Question

is 4/12more or less than 4/6

Answer 1

4/12 is less than 4/6

4/12 = 2/6

and 2/6 < 4/6

Answer 2

4/12 is less than 4/6. We can double check this by making both fractions have denominators of 12. If we multiply 4/6 by 2/2 (which is the same as multiplying by one), the fraction becomes 8/12. Since 8 is greater than 4, 8/12 is larger, meaning that 4/12 is smaller than 4/6.
