Question

which statement is true for the pair of fractions shown? A 4/6 is equal to 9/12. B 4/6 is less than 9/12 C 4/6 is greater than 10/12. D 4/6 is greater than 10/12​

Answer 1

To figure this out, we just need to simplify as much as we can for each problem, and then find a common denominator.

A

4/6 = 9/12

2/3 = 3/4

this is false

B

4/6 < 9/12

2/3 < 3/4

8/12 < 9/12

this is true, but let's look at the others just in case

C

4/6 > 10/12

2/3 > 5/6

4/6 > 5/6

this is false

D

It looks like C and D are the same. This means D is also false.

So B is the only true statement

Answer: B
