Is 4/12 bigger than 4/6

No. 4/12 is four pieces out of twelve, and 4/6 is four pieces out of six, so it would be bigger because there are less pieces so there would be more in each piece.

No, because if you multiply the numerator and denominator of 4/6 by 2, you get 8/12, which is bigger than 4/12.
