Question

3/4 less or greater than 4/12

Answer 1

Answer:

4/12 simplified is 1/3

3/4 > 1/3

Or, imagine this:

There are 2 pies, watermelons, pizzas, cookies, whatever fits you. One is cut into 4 pieces and the other into 3. You take the one with 4 pieces and your friend take the one with 3. When you finish, there is only 1 quarter left. However, your friend didn't even finish half. Of course, you ate more.

Weird example but who cares...
