ok...so 2/4 = 1/2 or 0.5.....and u want a fraction with a denominator of 6 greater then this...

3/6 is not greater, it is equal....so try 4/6.......4/6 = 0.66....so it is greater then 2/4 and has a denominator of 6

Answer:


(4)/(6)\ is\ greater\ than (2)/(4).

Explanation:

As given

Pedro fills a glass
(2)/(4) full with orange juice.

Now
(2)/(4) is written in the decimal form .


(2)/(4) = 0.5

Now find out a fraction with a denominator of 6 that us greater than
(2)/(4) .

First take


(1)/(6) = 0.16\ (Approx)

Thus


Clearly (1)/(6)\ less\ than\ (2)/(4).

Sceond take


(2)/(6) = 0.33

Thus


(2)/(6)\ less\ than\ (2)/(4).


Clearly (2)/(6)\ less\ than\ (2)/(4).

Third take


(3)/(6) = 0.5

Thus


(3)/(6)\ is\ equal\ to (2)/(4).

Fourth take


(4)/(6) = 0.66\ (Approx)

Thus


(4)/(6)\ is\ greater\ than (2)/(4).

Therefore
(4)/(6)\ is\ greater\ than (2)/(4).
