Question

Explain how you know 7/12 is greater than 1/3 but less than 2/3

Answer 1

You could cross multiply to get your answer or you could compare them on number lines

Answer 2

You first have to create a common denominator • so 1/3 multiplied by 4 is 4/12 which is less than 7/12 • so 2/3 multiplied by 4 is 8/12 which is greater than 7/12
