To solve the inequality
[ \frac{2}{?} > \frac{4}{12} ]
we first simplify (\frac{4}{12}):
[ \frac{4}{12} = \frac{1}{3} ]
Now, the inequality becomes:
[ \frac{2}{?} > \frac{1}{3} ]
To eliminate the fraction, we can cross-multiply (assuming that (? > 0)):
[ 2 \times 3 > 1 \times ? ]
This simplifies to:
[ 6 > ? ]
So, (? < 6). Therefore, any value less than 6 would satisfy the inequality.
Now, let's check the options:
- (4): (4 < 6) (True)
- (6): (6 < 6) (False)
- (12): (12 < 6) (False)
- (24): (24 < 6) (False)
The only value from the given options that makes the statement true is:
[ \boxed{4} ]
