Which statement is true?

• 2/6 = 2/4, becasue each model has 2 parts shaded.

• 1/6 > 1/4, because 1 shaded part out of 6 parts is greater than 1 shaded part out of 4 parts.

• 4/6 < 2/4, because sixths are smaller than fourths.

• 2/4 > 2/6, because 2 shaded parts out of 4 parts is greater than 2 shaded parts out of 6 parts.

Which comparison and explanation are true?

• 4/6 < 4/8, because sixths are larger than eighths.

• 4/6 > 4/8, because sixths are larger than eighths.

• 4/6 > 4/8, because eighths are larger than sixths.

Which statement is true?
