1/6
If you are unsure, there is an easy way to compare. Cross multiply. Try for example 1/4 and 1/3.
1/4 * 1/3 = 1*3 & 1*4 = 3 & 4
Since the 1/4 fraction has the smaller value of 3, it is smaller than the 1/3 fraction. Now compare 1/4 and 1/6.
1/4 * 1/6 = 1*6 & 1*4 = 6 & 4
This time the 1/6 fraction is smaller with the "value" of 4.
Hope this helps. =]

The smallest fraction is 1/6. You find it by finding the least common denominator, which is 24. Then, divide the denominator and times it by the numerator. Good luck on your homework!

1/6 , the bigger the number under the one, that is the smallest fraction

1/6 because it means you need 6 pieces to equal 1. 1/4 only needs 4 pieces and 1/3 only needs 3 pieces.

1/6 (if the numerators are the same, the one with the largest denominator is going to be the smallest)
