1/4 is smaller than 9/6

#### Steps for comparing fractions

1. Find the least common denominator or LCM of the two denominators:
LCM of 4 and 6 is 12
2. For the 1st fraction, since 4 × 3 = 12,
1/4 = 1 × 3/4 × 3 = 3/12
3. Likewise, for the 2nd fraction, since 6 × 2 = 12,
9/6 = 9 × 2/6 × 2 = 18/12
4. Since the denominators are now the same, the fraction with the bigger numerator is the greater fraction
5. 3/12 < 18/12 or 1/4 < 9/6
