Which of the following is the greatest?

Explanation

To compare which among fractions has the highest value, they must be in the form where all their denominators are the same. Thus:
1/3 = 4/12
1/2 = 6/12
5/12
1/4 = 3/12
When comparing fractions with the same denominators, the fraction with the highest value is the one with the highest numerator. In this case, it is 6/12 or 1/2.
