To compare fractional size.
2/6 & 4/6
Since both have the same denominator, then we just compare the numerators.
4 > 2
Hence it follows that 4/6 > 2/6
However, I think you may be being 'tricked' with this question. You should see that 4/6 = 2/3 & 2/6 = 1/3
These are the fractions in their lowest terms.
Similarly just compare the numerators 2 > 1 Hence 2/3 > 1/3
Another way is to convert to decimals
2/3 = 4/6 = 0.666....
1/3 = 2/6 = 0.333...
I think you should be able to recognise that 0.666..,. > 0.333....
NB The 'dots' have the last decimal digit indicate that it recurs to infinity.

Which is greater 2 thirds or 4 sixths?
They are equivalent. 2/3 = 4/6 Reason if you cancel 4/6 down by '2' you answer is 2/3 . Or conversely if you multiply 2/3 by '2' then you arrive at 4/6 'The symbol ' = ' means 'equivolence' , which means in mathematics, that the term is the same size (equal), but your are using different numerical values.
What is greater four sixths or one half?

What fraction is greater one third or four sixth?
Four-sixths (4/3) reduced is the same as two-thirds (2/3) so four-sixths is greater!
Is four ninths greater or lesser than two sixths?
Four ninths is greater than two sixths, bear with me while I say why:One ninth is about 11.11%, and one sixths is about 16.66%. Got that?11.11% (1/9) times 4 = 44.4%, which is four ninths.16.66% (1/6) times 2 = 33.3%, which is 2 sixths.44.4% is greater than 33.3%.Therefore four ninths is greater than two sixths.
