We are going to be checking each statement in order to find which of them are correct:
<h2>5/6 < 6/8 - 5/6 is smaller than 6/8</h2>We can see that in the drawing 3/8 is smaller than 5/6. Then this statement is false.
<h2>4/6 < 5/8 - 4/6 is smaller than 5/8</h2>
We can see that in the drawing 5/8 is smaller than 4/6. Then this statement is false.
<h2>2/6 = 3/8 - 2/6 is equal to 3/8</h2>
We can see that in the drawing 3/8 is bigger than 2/6. Then this statement is false.
<h2>3/6 = 4/8 - 3/6 is equal to 4/8</h2>
We can see that in the drawing 4/8 is equal to 3/6. Then this statement is true.
<h2>Answer: 3/6 = 4/8</h2>
