For this case we have the following fractions:


\frac {11} {2}\\\frac {6} {11}

We must rewrite the fractions, using the same denominator.

We have then:

We multiply the first fraction by 11 in the numerator and denominator:


\frac {11} {2} \frac {11} {11}

We multiply the second fraction by 2 in the numerator and denominator:


\frac {6} {11} \frac {2} {2}

Rewriting we have:

For the first fraction:


\frac {121} {22}

For the second fraction:


\frac {12} {22}

We note that:


\frac {121} {22}> \frac {12} {22}

Answer:

The fractions are not equivalent:


\frac {11} {2}> \frac {6} {11}
