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.
Ordering fractions is putting them in order, usually least to greatest, smallest to largest. In order to determine whether a fraction is larger or smaller than another one, it is necessary to compare them. This is done by determining a common denominator and comparing the numerators.
cross multiply and the fraction with the largest total is a greater fraction
it works when comparing fractions by multiplying the fractions to see whitch one is greater not greater and equal
The correct spelling is fractions instead of fractans. Comparing fractions means to tell which fraction is smaller and which is bigger.

Because when you compare fractions with the same denominators, you do not have to find the least common denominator (LCM or LCD).
It is easy: just convert to decimal fractions.
When comparing or simplifying fractions.
when 2 fractions have the same denomenator, the one the larger numerator is greater.
it means that you look at 2 or more fractions and see their simalaritys and differences
Convert them into equivalent fractions with the same denominator and then compare the numerators.
When you are trying to add or subtract unlike fractions.
