4. Which is greater, 4/8 or 6/12? How do you know?
They are equal. You can use cross multiplication: 4 x 12 = 48, and 8 x 6 = 48. You can make equivalent fractions by using 24 as the LCD. 4/8 = 12/24 and 6/12 = 12/24. You can use COMMON SENSE. I know 4 is half of 8 so 4/8 = 1/2. I also know 6 is half of 12 so 6/12 also equals 1/2.
