Quy đồng: mẫu số chung : 72
\(\frac{1}{18}=\frac{4}{72}\)
\(\frac{x}{12}=\frac{x}{72}\)
\(\frac{y}{9}=\frac{y}{72}\)
\(\frac{1}{4}=\frac{18}{72}\)
=>\(\frac{1}{12}=\frac{6}{72}\)
=>\(\frac{1}{9}=\frac{8}{72}\)
so sánh: \(\frac{1}{12}< \frac{1}{9}\) vì \(\frac{6}{72}< \frac{8}{72}\)
\(\Rightarrow x=1\) ; \(y=1\)
