You have to find a common denominator for them.
2/8 = 4/16
2/8 = 2x2/8x2 = 4/16 = 4/16
5/6 or 7/12 Bring to a common denominator of '12' in this case. 10/12 & 7/12 Compare the numerators 10> 7 Hence 10/12 > 7/12 It follows 5/6 > 7/12
Because percentages are essentially the numerators of fractions with the same denominator, 100.
The usual method is to convert the fractions to equivalent fractions with a common denominator. Then you can simply compare the numerators. You can also convert each of the fractions to a decimal - this can easily be done with a calculator, simply divide the numerator by the denominator.
To compare to fractions, please convert them to a common denominator. (1) Find the common denominator, (2) Convert both fractions to this common denominator, (3) Compare the numerators.
Two ways: Convert them to decimals and compare or convert them to equivalent fractions with a common denominator and compare the numerators.
The fractions can be ordered according to the order of their numerators.
Convert them into equivalent fractions with the same denominator and then compare the numerators.
Find the equivalent fractions with the same denominator (the least common multiple) and then compare the numerators.
You can compare similar fractions by looking at their numerators. You can compare dissimilar fractions by converting them to similar fractions and looking at their numerators. You can convert a dissimilar fraction to a similar fraction by finding the least common denominator.
They are in the same order, by size, as their numerators.
5/6 or 7/12 Bring to a common denominator of '12' in this case. 10/12 & 7/12 Compare the numerators 10> 7 Hence 10/12 > 7/12 It follows 5/6 > 7/12

When comparing fractions you must find a common denominator; by finding the least common denominator it will keep the numbers (numerators and denominator) smaller .
To compare fractions which are not similar, the fractions must be made similar by putting them over a common denominator. There are two similar ways of doing this:Find the lowest common multiple of the denominators. Multiply the first numerator by whatever number you multiply the first denominator by to get that multiple, and do the same with the second numerator and denominator. You can then compare the numerators.Multiply the first numerator by the second denominator, and the second numerator by the first denominator, and put both numerators over the product of the two denominators. You can then compare the numerators.
