How to Compare two fractions?
Note: When the denominator is the same, the bigger fraction is the fraction with the bigger numerator.
For example, 4/3 is bigger than 2/3
When the numerator is the same, the bigger fraction is the one with the smaller denominator.
For example, 6/2 is bigger than 6/3
If the numerators or the denominators are not the same, just look for equivalent fractions with the same denominator. Then, compare the numerators
For example, compare 3/4 and 2/3
An equivalent fraction for 3/4 is 9/12
An equivalent fraction for 2/3 that has a denominator of 12 is 8/12
Since 8/12 is smaller 9/12, 2/3 is smaller than 3/4 |
