Answer:

4/6 > 4/8

Step-by-step explanation:

To see if the following is true:

We can cross multiply:

[tex]\frac{4}{6}\neq \frac{4}{8}[/tex]        {4* 8 = 32}      {4*6=24}

Thus,

[tex]\frac{4}{6}=32[/tex]

[tex]\frac{4}{8}=24[/tex]

Hence, [tex]\frac{4}{6} > \frac{4}{8}[/tex]

We can also turn them into decimal:

[tex]\frac{4}6=0.6667[/tex]

[tex]\frac{4}{8}=0.5[/tex]

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