The fraction 4/5 is equivalent to 24/30 (To get this I multiplied both the numerator and denominator by 6). The fraction 5/6 is equivalent to 25/30 (To get this I multiplied both the numerator and denominator by 5).... Since 25 is greater than 24, 25/30 (or originally 5/6) is the larger fraction
say, you have half a pie, and 2 sisters, if you divide the half-pie in 3 equal pieces, how much is everyone getting of the whole pie? well, is the quotient of 1/2 and 3.
