Answer:
\(\frac{1}{6}\) is less than \(\frac{1}{3}\)
Explanation:
The easiest way to compare fraction is by having a same denominator for both fractions and then simply comparing the numerators.
The denominator in the fraction \(\frac{1}{3}\) can be multiplied by 2 to give 6 which is the denominator in the second fraction.
Therefore, we will multiply both the numerator and the denominator in the fraction \(\frac{1}{3}\) by 2. This will give us \(\frac{2}{6}\)
Now the two fractions we have became \(\frac{1}{6}\) and \(\frac{2}{6}\)
Since both have the same denominator, we will compare numerators.
It is obvious that 2 is greater than 1. This means that \(\frac{2}{6}\) is greater than \(\frac{1}{6}\).
Hope this helps :)
