Is 1/6 greater or 1/24

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

 1/6 is greater than 1/24

Explanation:

Let's assume that 1/6 is equal to 1/24 for now. We'll see later this is false.

1/6 = 1/24

1*24 = 6*1 cross multiply

24 = 6

The last equation is false, so the first equation is false.

To fix things, we need to replace every equal sign with a greater than sign like so

1/6 > 1/24

1*24 > 6*1

24 > 6

Now each of those three statements are true, since the last statement is true. This shows that 1/6 is greater than 1/24.

We can take another approach to use the calculator to see that

1/6 = 0.167 approximately

1/24 = 0.042 approximately

We can see that 0.167 is the larger decimal, so 1/6 is the larger fraction.

If you want, you can move the decimal point over 3 spots to the right for each decimal number. So that would mean 0.167 becomes 167, and 0.042 becomes 42. Then it becomes more clear that 167 is the larger value, helping confirm that 0.167 is the larger decimal.
