The fractions are 4/45 and 3/36. Fraction means part divided by the whole.
oh i see
thank you

To make it even clearer, you can convert both fractions to the same denominator, but that involves some big numbers.
Let's try estimating.
4/45 = just under 4/44 or 1/11
3/36 = 1/12
1/11 is a smaller fraction than 1/12
