Answer:
Find the least common denominator or LCM of the two denominators:
LCM of 4 and 6 is 12
Next, find the equivalent fraction of both fractional numbers with denominator 12
For the 1st fraction, since 4 × 3 = 12,
3
4
=
3 × 3
4 × 3
=
9
12
Likewise, for the 2nd fraction, since 6 × 2 = 12,
5
6
=
5 × 2
6 × 2
=
10
12
Since the denominators are now the same, the fraction with the bigger numerator is the greater fraction
9
12
<
10
12
or
3
4
<
5
6
3/4 becomes 9/12 and 5/6 becomes 10/12
Hence 5/6 is greater than 3/4
Hope this helps
