Gisselle Murphy · Answer 1

The fractions 2/4 and 3/4 have the same denominator. Fractions with the same denominators are like fractions. If denominators are the same, the fraction with the larger numerator is larger. So 3/4 is larger than 2/4.

2/3=4/6 2/4=3/6 4/6 is greater than 3/6 so Ricardo has read more.
