Question

compare \\(\frac{2}{3}\\) and \\(\frac{5}{6}\\). first, write a fraction equivalent to \\(\frac{2}{3}\\) with a denominator of 6. \\(\frac{2}{3} = \frac{?}{6}\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Find the multiplier

To get a denominator of 6 from 3, we multiply 3 by 2 (since \( 3\times2 = 6 \)).

Step2: Multiply numerator

Multiply the numerator of \( \frac{2}{3} \) by the same number (2) to keep the fraction equivalent. So \( 2\times2 = 4 \). Thus, \( \frac{2}{3}=\frac{4}{6} \).
