To compare the sizes of fractions, you can find a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 12. When you convert 3/4 to have a denominator of 12, you get 9/12. When you convert 5/6 to have a denominator of 12, you get 10/12. Therefore, 5/6 (or 10/12) is bigger than 3/4 (or 9/12).

Well, let's think about it like painting a happy little picture. If we have three out of four equal parts, that's like having most of the whole picture already painted. But if we have five out of six equal parts, that's just a little bit more painted. So, five sixths is bigger than three fourths, but both are important parts of the whole picture.

Well, honey, let me break it down for you. Five sixths is bigger than three fourths. It's like comparing a whole pie to almost a whole pie - the bigger the denominator, the smaller the slices. So, in this case, five sixths takes the cake.

five sixths because 3/4=9/12 and 5/6=10/12

If you were to subtract them then you would prove it as well. Three quarters is definitely less

Five-sixth is greater than three-fourth because multiplying the denominators by a number to get a common denominator five-sixth is greater.
