to compare fractions, you need to get both fractions to have the same denominator. The denominators are 3 and 6. Both 3 and 6 can be multiplied by something to get 6. 6 x 1 = 6 and 3 x 2 = 6
First, we'll start with 5/6 to show how this works. we are going to multiply 5/6 by 1/1
5 x 1 = 5 6 1 6
Next, we'll change 2/3 to a denominator of 6. we are going to multiply 2/3 by 2/2
2 x 2 = 4 3 2 6
Finally we can compare both fractions because they both have the same denominator.
