To answer this question you have to convert both fractions “1/6” and “4/5” to fractions with the same denominator so that you can compare them. We’ll use the LCD or least common denominator, which is 30 since both 5 and 6 go into 30. Then using the new fractions, divide the numerators to get your answer.
- Convert the fractions
- 1/6 = 5/30
- 4/5 = 24/30
- Divide the numerators
- 24/5 = 4
- Your answer
- 5 goes into 24, 4 times
