4/6 can be reduced.
First, rewrite 4 as a product of prime numbers ("prime factorize" it):
4 = 2 * 2
Do the same thing for 6:
6 = 2 * 3
We see in the two cases that there is a 2 in common, thus we can "cross" one 2 from the top, and one from the bottom, out. We are left with:
4/6 = 2/3
two-thirds is clearly more than one-third, thus four-sixths is not less than one-third.
