[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

To determine if Willa is correct, we need to compare the amount of the book that Larry and Willa have read. Larry has read 2/3 of the book, while Willa has read 4/6 of the book.

To compare these fractions, we need to make sure they have a common denominator, which is the same value in the denominator of both fractions. In this case, the common denominator is 6.

Larry's fraction, 2/3, can be converted to a fraction with a denominator of 6 by multiplying both the numerator and denominator by 2. This gives us 4/6.

Now we can compare the fractions:
Larry: 4/6
Willa: 4/6

Since both Larry and Willa have read the same fraction of the book (4/6), they have read an equal amount. Therefore, Willa is incorrect in claiming that she has read more than Larry.
