3/4 = 6/8 (multiplying numerator and denominator by 2) and that is bigger than 5/8
no because its bigger than its denominator which is 4.
A fraction has the numerator on 'top' and the denominator on the 'bottom'. If the two fractions have the same denominator (eg: 1/4 and 3/4) then you can simply compare the numerators, and the larger fraction has the larger denominator (in the above example, 3 is bigger than 1 so 3/4 is bigger than 1/4.) If the Denominators are different then you must find the common denominator. Do this by 'adjusting' (multiplying numerator and denominator by the same number) either one or both fractions, then comparing the numerators. eg: 2/3 and 1/2. The denominators are different, and the common denominator would be 6 (2x3). (This is not always the smallest though, like the lowest common denominator for 1/4 and 1/6 is 12, not 24.) Once you have the lowest common denominator, adjust the fractions: 2/3 becomes 4/6 (as you had to multiply 3 by 2 to get 6, multiply the numerator by 2). 1/2 becomes 3/6 (again, multiply numerator by the same number as the denominator). Compare the fractions: we have 3/6 and 4/6. 4/6 is bigger, which is the same as 2/3, therefore 2/3 is bigger than 1/2.
yes four thirds is greater than three fourths as 4 third is bigger than one whole and 3/4 is not if you have a look. 4/3 has a smaller denominator than the numerator so that means it is bigger than 1 whole. 3/4 has a bigger denominator than the numerator so it is less than one whole.
4 fifths is bigger than 2 fifths. In fractions, the numerator represents the number of parts being considered, and the denominator represents the total number of parts in a whole. Therefore, having 4 parts out of 5 is greater than having 2 parts out of 5.
I assume you mean 3/4ths and yes it is 1/2 3/4 the least common denominator is 4 multiply 1/2 by 2/2 you get 2/4 compared to 3/4
common denominator 2/5=18/45 4/9=20/45 so 2/5 is smaller than 4/8
Yes But then you would have to divide the denominator into the numerator and get a mixed number ,then simply 6:4
To compare the sizes of fractions, it's helpful to find a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 12. When both fractions are converted to have a denominator of 12, 3/4 becomes 9/12 and 4/6 becomes 8/12. Therefore, 3/4 (9/12) is bigger than 4/6 (8/12) because 9/12 is greater than 8/12.
To compare the 2, they both must have the same denominator, the number on the bottom of the fraction. To get 2/3 to have a denominator of 12 you have to multiply both the numerator and denominator, top and bottom number, by 4. this leaves you with 8/12. so 9/12 is clearly bigger than 8/12 since it has a larger numerator, top number, while having the same denominator, bottom number.
It can be anything you like.-3 is bigger than -4 but (-3)/(-4) = 3/4 is a positive fraction which is less than 1.4 is bigger than 3 but 4/3 is a positive fraction which is greater than 1.3 is bigger than -4 but 3/(-4) = -3/4 is a negative fraction which is greater than -1.4 is bigger than -3 but 4/(-3) = -4/3 is a negative fraction which is less than -1.
