    To work this out, we want to find the Lowest Common Multiple of 6 and 12

    This is the smallest number that fits in both

    6 x 2 = 12

    12 x 1 = 12

    11/12 is already over 12 so we don't need to do anything

    5/6 is not - to convert it, we multiply the top and the bottom by 2

    5 x 2 = 10

    10/12 or 11/12

    10 is smaller than 11

    Therefore 5/6 is smaller than 11/12

    5/6 < 11/12

    11/12 is greater
