To compare two fractions (check which one is greater), you have the following options:
1. Convert the fractions to a common denominator. Example: compare 2/3 and 1/2. Common denominator is 6. 2/3 is equal to 4/6, and 1/2 is equal to 3/6, so 2/3 is greater.
2. Convert to decimal. This can be done quickly on a calculator. Using the same example as above, 2/3 is 0.6666666... and 1/2 is 0.5, so 2/3 is greater.

When you estimat the sum of two mixed numbers what do you do?
Round them off. If the fraction is less than 1/2 (the numerator is less than half of the denominator), eliminate it. If the fraction is equal to or greater than 1/2 (the numerator is equal to or greater than half the denominator), increase the whole number by one and eliminate the fraction. The estimated sum of 2 and 1/3 + 3 and 3/4 is 6.
