To compare them , make them as like fractions.

To make them like fractions, find the LCM (Lowest common multiple) of their denominators. LCM of denominators (60 , 90)

LCM of 60,90 is 180.

180 goes 3 times for 60.

So,

12/60 × 3/3 =  36/180

180 goes 2 times for 90.

So,

18/90 × 2/2 = 36/180

12/60 = 36/180

18/90 =  36/180
