Answer 1

3/4 and 5/6
Now, you have to find the common denominator to compare the two fractions properly. Let’s see... 12 can be divided by both 4 and 6. So we’re going to convert both denominators to 12.

3*3= 9 and 4*3=12 so 3/4 = 9/12

5*2= 10 and 6*2=12 so 5/6 = 10/12

Bryan’s brother ate more peach.
