3/4 = 6/12
4/6 = 8/12

8/12 > 6/12

Wait, but isn't 2/3 the same as 4/6? so wouldn't it be =?
Answered by Warrior Cat Lover
Ms. Sue, what do you think?
Answered by Ms. Sue
I made a minor correction to Damon's answer.

And yes, 2/3 = 4/6.

I have a question too that is on the same test. I need help ordering the numbers from least to greatest:
0.42, -1/2, 11/20, -0.51
Answered by Ms. Sue
The trick is to change the fractions to equivalent fractions with a common denominator -
or
change them to decimals.

Thanks again Ms. Sue
Answered by Warrior Cat Lover
Ms. Sue, I made the decimals into fractions. What do you think?:
0.42 = 42/100
-0.51 = -51/100
1/2
11/20
Now how do i list them?
Answered by Ms. Sue
Think about money when looking at decimals. The negative numbers are like debts and the positives are like money in your pocket.
