Answer 1

four sixths because 4 sixths is less than 4 eighths

Answer 2

Answer:

Green paint jar is less full

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

The green paint jar is $\frac{4}{8}$ full

The purple paint jar is tex]\frac{4}{6}[/tex] full

To Find:which paint jar is less full

Solution:

To find which is less in  $\frac{4}{8}$ and  $\frac{4}{6}$

Take LCM of denominators

LCM of 8 an 6 is 24

Now make the denominator of both fractions 24

So. Green paint : $\frac{4}{8} *\frac{3}{3} =\frac{12}{24}$

Purple paint : $\frac{4}{6} *\frac{4}{4} =\frac{16}{24}$

So,  $\frac{12}{24}<\frac{16}{24}$

 $\frac{4}{8}<\frac{4}{6}$

Thus green paint jar is less full
