How do you find out what fraction is greater?

Answer 1

You can see which fraction is greater by using the butterfly method! DUH! So lets say if we use 2 over 3 and then another fraction 6 over 5. You then draw a circle starting from the 2 going diagnol over the 5. So then you do 2 times 5 which is 10. Then you do another diagnol line starting this time form the 3 going diagnol over the 6. Then you do 6 times 3 which is 18. After 18 and 10 you draw an arch coming from each circle connecting to the 18 and connecting to the ten. Then you circle the 18 and the 10. Then it looks like a butterfly. So which is greater 10 or 18. !8 is greater so then your problem should look like this: 10<18. So 18 is greater than 10. There you go you got your answer.
