They are equal

Explanation:

The easiest way to compare fractions is to give them the same denominator (bottom number). The easiest way to do this is to use the Least Common Factor . To find the Least Common Factor, list all the multiples of each denominator and find the lowest number that they share.

3: 3, $6$ $color(red)6$ , 9, 12, 15, 18...
6: $6$ $color(red)6$ , 12, 18, 24, 30...

Let's change the first denominator to 6.
$\frac{2}{3} \times (\frac{2}{2}) \to \frac{4}{6}$ $2/3 xx (2/2) rarr 4/6$ (since we had to multiply the bottom by 2 to get 6, we also have to multiply the top by 2)
The second fraction already has a denominator of 6, so all we have left to do is compare them.
$\frac{4}{6} = \frac{4}{6}$ $4/6 = 4/6$
They are equal.

$the fractions are equal$ $"the fractions are equal"$

Explanation:

$before we can compare fractions we require them to$ $"before we can compare fractions we require them to"$
$have the same value on the denominator$ $"have the same value on the denominator"$

$to change 23 into a fraction with 6 on the denominator$ $"to change "2/3" into a fraction with 6 on the denominator"$

$multiply numerator/denominator by 2$ $"multiply numerator/denominator by 2"$

$\Rightarrow \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{2}{2} = \frac{2 \times 2}{3 \times 2} = \frac{4}{6}$ $rArr2/3xx2/2=(2xx2)/(3xx2)=4/6$

$as we can see \frac{2}{3} = \frac{4}{6}$ $"as we can see "2/3=4/6$
