One third of 12 is greater because the pieces would be bigger.

First, I would find both of the valued to compare them:

1 fourth of 13:
You do 1/4 * 13 to get 13/4

1 third of 12:
You do 1/3 * 12 to get 12/3 or 4/1

To compare them, you need to multiply the 4/1 by 4 to get a common denominator of 4.

Now we are comparing 13/4 and 16/4 Because 16 is larger than 13, 1 third of 12 would be larger

Hope this helps
