Question

Which symbol < > = will make the comparison true 4/6 and 4/8

Answer 1

4/6 > 4/8

Explanation:

To see if the following is true:

We can cross multiply:

`(4)/(6)\\eq (4)/(8)` {4* 8 = 32} {4*6=24}

Thus,

`(4)/(6)=32`

`(4)/(8)=24`

Hence,
`(4)/(6) > (4)/(8)`

We can also turn them into decimal:

`\frac{4}6=0.6667`

`(4)/(8)=0.5`

0.5 is NOT greater than 0.6667 which also means that 4/8 is NOT greater than 4/6.
