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.

What are compatible numbers for fractions?
I am not entirely sure what you mean, but if you need to add, subtract, or compare two fractions, they need to have the same denominator.
When do you need to use two number lines to compare two fractions?
When the numbers are greater than 1
How can you compare fractions of the same whole?
you compare them
What is a wy to compare two fractions when the denominator are the same?
They are in the same order, by size, as their numerators.
How do you put different fractions in increasing order?
Option 1: Find a common denominator for the two fractions. It need not be the least common denominator; for example, for two fractions, if you just multiply the two denominators, you get a common denominator. Convert all the fractions to the common denominator. Then you can compare. Option 2: Convert each fraction to decimal, by dividing the numerator by the denominator. Then you can compare the decimals.
How do you compare fractions in terms of similar and dissimilar fractions?
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.
What does percent mean when used to make a comparison?
One way to compare two fractions is to convert both to a common denominator. Then the only difference is in the numerator. Comparison of the numerator is then sufficient to compare the fractions. A percentage is equivalent to converting the fractions to a denominator of 100.
Which of the fractions is larger five sixths or seven twelfths?
To compare two fractions, find a common denominator, then convert each fraction to equivalent fractions with that common denominator. Finally, you compare the numerators. 5/6
