Example: If there are fifteen slices of a Pizza, and thirteen of them are shaded, the two more slices that you have to shade for thirteen over fifteen are smaller than the one slice that you have to shade, already making it bigger if you have to shade less.

5/6 & 13/15.

You first bring them to equivalent fractions and then compare numerators(top).

The LCM of '6' & '15' is '30'.

Hence bring both fractions to an equivalence of '30'

.

5/6 = 25/30

& 13/15 = 26/30

25 < 26

Hence 25/30 < 26/30

It follows that 5/6 < 13/15
