Yes.
To compare and find the relationship between the two given fractions, 2 3/4 and 2 4/6, we need to make sure they have the same denominator.
Let's start by converting both fractions to have a common denominator. The denominator we'll use is the least common multiple (LCM) of the two denominators, which in this case is 4 and 6.
To find the LCM of 4 and 6, we can list their multiples:
4: 4, 8, 12, 16, ...
6: 6, 12, 18, 24, ...
From the list, we see that the LCM of 4 and 6 is 12.
Now, let's convert both fractions to have a denominator of 12:
2 3/4 = (2 * 4 + 3) / 4 = 11/4
2 4/6 = (2 * 6 + 4) / 6 = 16/6
Now that both fractions have the same denominator, we can compare them by looking at their numerators:
11/4 > 16/6
Since 11/4 is a larger fraction than 16/6, the inequality statement is:
2 3/4 > 2 4/6
