Answer:

Answer: B, 6/11

Explanation:

Well we know that 3+2+1=6+3=9.

So that means we will add the 2 brown crayons to the denominator.

The denominator before we added 2 to it, it was 9 as a common denominator. If we want to get the common numerator we are going to have to add the top and that will become 9 then you will have to subtract that by 3

6/11 is also the smallest number that you can get.

You can turn the fraction into a decimal and have it that way to make it easier.

When you turn a fraction into a decimal the number is always the same but with comparing numbers it is a lot easier to do than comparing fractions

Hope this helps, and if it did I would appreciate it if you marked me as Brainllest. Have a wonderful day!
