Answer:
[tex] \frac{1}{6} [/tex] is less than [tex] \frac{1}{3} [/tex]
Explanation:
The easiest way to compare fraction is by having a same denominator for both fractions and then simply comparing the numerators.
The denominator in the fraction [tex] \frac{1}{3} [/tex] can be multiplied by 2 to give 6 which is the denominator in the second fraction.
Therefore, we will multiply both the numerator and the denominator in the fraction [tex] \frac{1}{3} [/tex] by 2. This will give us [tex] \frac{2}{6} [/tex]
Now the two fractions we have became [tex] \frac{1}{6} [/tex] and [tex] \frac{2}{6} [/tex]
Since both have the same denominator, we will compare numerators.
It is obvious that 2 is greater than 1. This means that [tex] \frac{2}{6} [/tex] is greater than [tex] \frac{1}{6} [/tex].
Hope this helps :)
