Question

is 1/3 bigger than 5/6

Answer 1

no because in 1/3 you get 2/6 so if you have 1/3 vs. 5/6 than you only have 1/3 containing 2/6 and we are looking for 5/6 so that is wrong. 5/6 is bigger that 1/3.

Answer 2

Make them both into 6ths. To do that, multiply 1/3 by 2/2.
1/3x2/2=2/6
No, 5/6 is bigger than 1/3 because it is basically  only 2/6.
Hope this helped!
