    Since they already have the same denominator (bottom number) it is just a matter of which has a larger numerator (top number) In this case you are comparing 4/3 and 6/3

    If you wanted to convert these into mixed numbers you could but that is just an extra step

    4/3=1 1/3

    6/3=2

    Putting both of the numbers like that may be easier for you to see that 6/3 (or 2) is greater than 4/3 (or 1 1/3)

    So Martin bought more fruit
