4/6 = 2/3 of a meter
5/8 is smaller than 2/3 now if it was 6/8 then it would be the same since 6/8 is equal to 2/3.
So 4/6 is longer than 5/8

True, but the question should test the child’s understanding of fractions, not whether he can be tricked with a confusing and illogical illustration. This is horribly unfair, stupid question.

I hope you are joking. 6/8 = 3/4 not 2/3
