You should not only know the correct answer, but how to obtain it yourself.
In order to compare fractions, you should find a common denominator, and convert both fractions. The bottom number of a fraction is the denominator, which is the total number of parts in the whole (the total number of pieces the whole has been divided into). The top number is the numerator, which is the number of pieces of the whole that you have.
A Pizza cut into 6 equal slices, takes 6 pieces to make up the whole pizza (6/6)
A pizza cut into 8 equal slices, takes 8 pieces to make up the whole pizza (8/8)
Multiples of 6 include: 2, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60 . . .
Multiples of 8 include: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80 . . .
The lowest common number in those two lines of multiples is 24.
This is like re-cutting the pizza into 24 equal slices.
The number 24 becomes the common denominator in both new fractions, however whatever number you multiply 6, and 8 by to get 24, you must also multiply the numerator by that same number.
For the denominator 6: 6 x 4 = 24, thus, for the numerator: 3 x 4 = 12
3 x 4 = 12
6 x 4 = 24
3/6 = 12/24
For the denominator 8: 8 x 3 = 24, thus for the numerator: 3 x 3 = 9
3 x 3 = 9
8 x 3 = 24
3/8 = 9/24
Answer:
12/24 > 9/24 (twelve twenty-fourths is greater than nine twenty-fourths)
or
3/6 > 3/8 (3 over 6 is greater than 3 over 8)

Which is bigger 5 over 18 or 1 over 3?
1/3 = 6/18 6/18 is bigger than 5/18 .
Which is bigger 5 over 6 or 2 over3?
5/6 is bigger than 2/3 (2/3 = 4/6, which is less than 5/6)
Is 5 over 6 bigger than 3 over 6?
Yes. With the same denominator, the numerators can be directly compared and as 5 is greater than 3, 5/6 is greater than 3/6.
Is -3 or -6 bigger?
3
What is bigger 1 half or 2 over 6?
2/6 is the same as 1/3, which is less than half. So, yes 1/2 is bigger than 2/6.
Is 3 over 8 or 5 over 6 bigger?
5/6 is bigger than 3/8
Is 5 over 6 bigger or 2 over 4 is?
5/6 is bigger than 2/4 or 5/6 is bigger than 3/6
Is 3 over 5 bigger than 3 over 6?
Yes.
Is 1 over 6 bigger than 3 over 8?
No.
Is 5 over 6 bigger than 3 over 5?
no it isn't 3 over 5 is 60% 5 over 6 is bigger than that but i don't wana search it right now
Which is bigger 5 over 18 or 1 over 3?
1/3 = 6/18 6/18 is bigger than 5/18 .
Is 3 5ths bigger than 3 6ths?
3 over 5 is larger than 3 over 6.
Which is bigger 5 over 6 or 2 over3?
5/6 is bigger than 2/3 (2/3 = 4/6, which is less than 5/6)
What is bigger that 3 over 8 and smaller than 3 over 4?
There are infinite numbers like this but 3 over 5, 3 over 6 and 3 over 7 are smaller than 3 over 4 and bigger than 3 over 8.
What is bigger 3 over 4 or 4 over 6?
Do you mean fractions? 3/4 is bigger than 4/6 because the denominator is smaller.
Is 3 over 4 bigger than 6 over 8?
3/4 and 6/8 are equivalent fractions.
Is 5 over 6 bigger than 3 over 6?
Yes. With the same denominator, the numerators can be directly compared and as 5 is greater than 3, 5/6 is greater than 3/6.
