Answer 1

four sixths because 4 sixths is less than 4 eighths

Answer 2

Green paint jar is less full

Explanation:

Given :

The green paint jar is
`(4)/(8)` full

The purple paint jar is tex]\frac{4}{6}[/tex] full

To Find:which paint jar is less full

Solution:

To find which is less in
`(4)/(8)` and
`(4)/(6)`

Take LCM of denominators

LCM of 8 an 6 is 24

Now make the denominator of both fractions 24

So. Green paint :
`(4)/(8) *(3)/(3) =(12)/(24)`

Purple paint :
`(4)/(6) *(4)/(4) =(16)/(24)`

So,
`(12)/(24)<(16)/(24)`

`(4)/(8)<(4)/(6)`

Thus green paint jar is less full
