Answer 1

Answer:

the blue piece of yarn is shorter than both the red yarn which is equal to the yellow piece of yarn:4/12<3/4=6/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{4}{12}<\frac{6}{8}=\frac{3}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case first we have to put all the fraction with the simplest denominator in order to compare them:

Red piece: $\frac{3}{4}$

Yellow piece: $\frac{6}{8}=\frac{3}{4}$

Blue piece: $\frac{4}{12}=\frac{1}{3}$

Now we can make a mathematical sentence to compare the pieces:

$\frac{4}{12}<\frac{6}{8}=\frac{3}{4}$
