To find out, the 2 fractions need to have the same denominator.

4/12, 8/12 (multiply top and bottom by 2)

4/6 is bigger

Answer: 4/6 is greater than 4/12

4/6 > 4/12

To solve for this, lets simplify each fraction

4/12=1/3

4/6=2/3

Now that they both have a common denominator, and since 2/3 is greater than 1/3, it is easy to see that 4/6 is greater than 4/12.
