To determine the true comparison between the fractions, we need to compare the sizes of the fractions.
First, let's calculate the fraction of Rocco's ice cream bar that he eats. Rocco eats 3 out of 4 parts, so the fraction of Rocco's ice cream bar that he eats is 3/4.
Next, let's calculate the fraction of Barrett's ice cream bar that he eats. Barrett eats 4 out of 4 parts, so the fraction of Barrett's ice cream bar that he eats is 4/4.
Now, let's compare the fractions:
A. 3/4 = 4/4: This comparison is not true because the fractions are not equal. 3/4 is not equal to 4/4.
B. 4/4 < 3/4: This comparison is not true because 4/4 is equal to 1 while 3/4 is less than 1. The fraction 4/4 is greater than 3/4.
C. 3/4 > 4/4: This comparison is not true because 3/4 is less than 4/4. The fraction 4/4 is greater than 3/4.
D. 3/4 < 4/4: This comparison is true because 3/4 is less than 4/4. The fraction 4/4 is greater than 3/4.
Therefore, the true comparison is D. 3/4 < 4/4.
