Where do you place the whole number when comparing a part to a whole?
when comparing a part to a whole in fractions you would put the whole as the denominator: 1/4 would be one part of 4.
What are three rules you can use to compare fractions?
Rule #1 When two fractions have the same denominator, the bigger fraction is the one with the bigger numerator. Rule # 2 When comparing fractions that have the same numerator, the bigger fraction is the one with the smaller denominator. Rule # 3 You can convert the fractions and then just put the greater than, less than or equal to sign to see what the comparison is between the fractions.
How do you determine which fractions are largest when comparing them?
the bigger the denominator (the bottom #) is the smaller the fraction the bigger it is the bigger the fraction. Ex: 1/2 is half 1/3 is a third 1/4 is a forth think of it like the pieces of a pie.
How do you compare two fractions?
Three main ways:Convert them to equivalent fractions with the same denominator. Then smaller numerator = smaller fraction.Convert them to equivalent fractions with the same numerator. Then smaller denominator = larger fraction (this is useful for comparing reciprocals of integers, since the numerators are already all 1).Convert to decimals. This is essentially converting to a common denominator (bullet 1) that may be a large power of ten.
Why do you compare fractions?
To compare any two fractions they first need to be converted to numbers on a similar basis: Convert both to decimals: the smaller decimal is the smaller fraction. Find equivalent fractions with the same denominator: the fraction with the smaller numerator is the smaller number. Find equivalent fractions with the same numerator: the fraction with the larger denominator is the smaller number. I recommend that the last of these is used for integral reciprocals (comparing 1/2, 1/4, 1/7 etc) or by more proficient users.
How do you put fractions in smallest to largest?
This is kind of difficult to explain in one post, but I'll give it a shot. Pretend you have a group of fractions: 1/4, 2/8, 1/2 To organize the fractions from smallest to greatest, you first have to make them all the same denominator. The denominator is the number at the bottom of a fraction. You can make all the fractions have the same denominator by multiplying the top, by the same amount you multiply the denominator (multiply the denominator into the smallest number that can be divided into every fraction's denominator) Like this. 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2.. The number that all the denominators can divide into is 8. So, to make the fractions have the denominator of 8, you have to multiply the denominator with a number that will make it 8. However, when you multiply the bottom, you must also do it to the top. It looks like this: 1x2/4x2, 3x1/8x1, 1x4/2x4 After you calculate that, it will look like this: 2/8, 3/8, 4/8. After they are all the same denominator, just order them from lowest to greatest by how big the top number is. That will look like: 2/8, 3/8, 4/8. This is because 2 is the smallest, then it's 3, then its 4. I hope that helped you understand. Another method (easier) Convert the fractions into decimals. You can use a calculator. This will allow you to sort them from smallest to largest just by comparing their decimal conversions or approximations.Example: 1/4 = .250, 3/8 = .375, 1/2 = .500. This lets you compare the fractions by comparing their relative amounts. Comparing fractions with different denominators is like comparing apples and grapes.
What are unlike fractions?
Unlike fractions are fractions having unlikedenominators, e.g., 1/4 and 1/6.
How do you use comparing mixed fractions?
Assuming the fractions are "normalized" (the fractional part is less than 1): First compare the integer part. If the integer part is the same, you need to compare the fractions. If the denominator of the fractions is different, you have to convert to a common denominator. The simplest way to find a common denominator is to multiply both denominators (i.e., you don't need the LEAST common denominator - any common denominator will do).

What are these fractions in order from least to greatest 23 13 18 79 56?
To order fractions from least to greatest, you first need to convert them to a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator would be 1. So, the fractions would be 23/1, 13/1, 18/1, 79/1, and 56/1. By comparing the numerators, the fractions in order from least to greatest would be 13/1, 18/1, 23/1, 56/1, and 79/1.
Is 1 to 1 least or greatest on a list of fractions?
Greatest on a list of proper fractions, least on a list of improper fractions.
What equivalent fractions can equal one?
I just did fractions and I think 1/1
