What
is
Comparing
Fractions?
•
When
comparing
fractions,
you
are
finding
which
fraction
is
greater
and
which
fractions
is
less
than
the
other.
•
Similar
to
comparing
numbers,
there
are
symbols
to
use
when
comparing
fractions.
<

the
symbol
used
for

How
to
Compare
Fractions:
•
When
the
two
fractions
being
compared
have
the
same
denominator,
simply
look
at
the
numerator
to
figure
out
which
fraction
is
greater
than
or
less
than.
Example:
3
2
4
___4
These
two
fractions
share
the
same
denominator.
The
numerator
in
the
first
fraction
is
three,
which
is
larger
than
the
numerator
in
the
second
or
the
number
two.
Therefore,
¾
is
greater
than
2/4
or:
3

4__>_4
•
When
the
two
fractions
have
different
denominators,
first
find
a
common
denominator
to
help
compare.
Then
continue
on
as
you
did
with
the
above
example.

are
both
multiplied
by
2.
