Yes

6/9 is greater than 1/2.

You find this by finding a common denominator. There are several methods that can be used, but with small denominators, it's fastest to just multiply each side of the equation by the opposite denominator over itself (which is 1, when simplified.)

So...

6/9 * 2/2 = 12/18

1/2 * 9/9 = 9/18

With the denominators the same, you can go ahead and just compare the numerators. 12 > 9, therefore 6/9 > 1/2
