well if you make the denominater of the fraction the same, aka finding the lowest common multiple you can find out so what you do is 8 and 6 both go into 24 8 goes into 24 3 times and 6 goes 4 times so you multiply the numerator by how many times the denominator goes into the LCM(lowest common multiple) and get 6/24 and 8/24 meaning justin climbed higher
