Answer: 2/3 < (less than) 3/4

To find this answer, you could 1 use of 2 ways. You could...

  • Use a calculator and divide the numerators by the denominators, to find the decimal value of the numbers. 2/3 = 0.6666... and 3/4 = 0.75. 0.666...(2/3) < 0.75 (3/4).

OR...

  • Make the denominators the same and comparing the numerators to see which is greater. 2/3 * 4/4 = 8/12 and 3/4 * 3/3 = 9/12. 8 is less than 9, thus meaning 2/3 < 3/4.

I hope this helps!
