Answer:

The answers would be 10/12 and 9/12 hence he would need more strawberries

Explanation:

12 is the lowest Common Denominator that can go into 6 and 4 so in order to get the denominator to 12 you have to multiply 5/6 by 2 and 3/4 by 3. This will also get you the answer of Sam needing more strawberries and not bananas.

Hope this helps!
