Put simply, yes.

To prove, find like denominators, then compare numerators.

Factors of 6: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36

Factors of 8: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48

The LCF is 24.

$\frac{4}{6}*4=\frac{16}{24}$

$\frac{2}{8}*3=\frac{6}{24}$

Now compare numerators.

16 > 6

So yes, 4/6 is greater than 2/8.

Hope this helps. Have a nice day.

Answer:

Yes it is.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two ways to do this.

1: Find a common denominator, such as _/24. First, you do how many times does 6 go into 24? Well, 4, so then do 4x4 = 16/24 then do the same thing for 8. 8x3=24, so 2x3=6/24. So 16/24 is greater than 6/24.

2: 4/6 = 0.667 and 2/8 = 0.25. So yes, 0.667 is greater.

The question is incorrect
the correct question is
A local citizen wants to fence a rectangular community garden. The length of the garden should be at least 110 ft,and the distance around should be no more than 380 ft. Write a system of inequality that model the possible dimensions of he garden. Graph the system to show all possible solutions

let
x---------------> the length of the garden
y---------------> the wide of the garden

we know that
x>=110
2x+2y <=380---------------> x+y <= 190

Part A) Write a system of inequality that model the possible dimensions of he garden

the answer part A) is
x>=110
x+y <= 190

Part B) Graph the system to show all possible solutions

using a graph tool
see the attached figure
the solution is the triangle show in the figure

the possible solutions of y (wide) would be between 0 and 80 ft
the possible solutions of x (length) would be between 110 ft and 190 ft
