There's a much easier method than that.

It's just difficult to show on here

OKAY

3 2/3 = 12/3
4 5/6 = 29/6
4 11/12 = 59/12
3 3/8 = 27/8
4 1/4 = 17/4
3 1/2 = 7/2

Answer 18

find least common denominator of the 2 given numbers and one of the multiple choice numbers. then you should be able to tell which one fits

Answer 19

Nope, that's not the easier way either.

Answer 20

It's the cross mutliplication technique but you can only do it with mixed numbers that have the same whole number

Answer 21

So you can only compare 3 and 2/3 with 3 and 3/8 or with 3 and 1/2 for example

Answer 22

And you can only compare 4 and 5/6 with 4 and 11/12 or 4 and 1/4

Answer 23

You just have to make sure that whatever the mixed number is, it is between 3 and 2/3 and 4 and 5/6

Answer 24

@Vivi305, you already know the cross multiplication technique.

Answer 25

SO WAT IS THE ANSWER

Answer 26

All you have to do is compare the fractions of the ones with the same whole number

Answer 27

NVM

Answer 28

Pretty simple

Answer 29

Okay, I'll show you, but it is going to take a lot of work for me since you can't hear me on vyew.

Answer 30

So we want to see which number falls between 3 and 2/3 <---> 4 and 5/6.

So first, let's try 4 and 11/12



Since 66 > 60, that can't be it.
