Compare them by making them like terms.
4/6 x2/2=8/12
4/6=8/12 so when compared to 4/12,
4/6 > 4-12

To compare, you must make the denominator common. In this case you find the great common factor which is 12. So you make 4/6 denominator equal to 12. So what can 6 times to, to equal to 12? (6x_=12)? 2.
So you times the denominator by 2 and the numerator by 2. And you’ll get: 8/12.
Now compare:
4/12 < 8/12
To make it easy to understand:
(4 slices out of 12 is less than 8 slices out of 12).
