Question

Witch is bigger 4/12 or 3/6

Answer 1

4/12 is 0.33% while 3/6 is 0.5% so 3/6 is bigger

Answer 2

Answer: 3/6

Step-by-step explanation:

if you simplify each fraction, it helps to find which one is bigger/smaller. when we look at 4/12, you can see that the numerator (4) can go into the denominator (12). the biggest number you can simplify with is 4 because that’s the numerator. once you divide both the numerator and denominator by 4, you would get 1/3 because 4/4= 1, and 12/4= 3. now when you look at 3/6, you can see that the denominator (6) is divisible by the numerator (3). you can do the same thing with the other fraction. 3/3 equals 1. 6/3 equals 2. 3/6 is equal to 1/2. 1/2 is greater than 1/3 because to get to one, you only have to have 2 halves to make one whole. to make a whole with 1/3, you have to have 3 thirds.
