Question

what is larger 1/6 or 1/7

Answer 1

6 is less then < 7 , but when inverted into fractions it becomes greater than (>)
1/6 > 1/7
Think one half (1/2) and one quarter (1/4) , instinctively you know one half is larger than one quarter, but '2' is smaller then '4'.
The same applies throughout fractions. The bigger the bottom number, the smaller the fraction.

1/2 > 1/4
It follows
1/6 > 1/7

Answer 2

1/6 or 1/7 = 7/42 or 6/42

Hence 1/6 is greater.
