The method is exactly the same.
Because when you compare fractions with the same denominators, you do not have to find the least common denominator (LCM or LCD).
you have to compare the common fractions
Find the equivalent fractions with the same denominator (the least common multiple) and then compare the numerators.
The difference is that they equivalent fractions worksheets have graphics and explain the concepts in easier to understand language. I find them to be an easier and fun way to introduce and explain fractions.
The usual method is to convert the fractions to equivalent fractions with a common denominator. Then you can simply compare the numerators. You can also convert each of the fractions to a decimal - this can easily be done with a calculator, simply divide the numerator by the denominator.

Decimals and percentages are easier to compare than fractions - particularly if they are unlike fractions. That does not explain why percentages are required when we have decimal number and there is no good answer to that!
To compare two fractions, convert them to a common denominator.To compare two fractions, convert them to a common denominator.To compare two fractions, convert them to a common denominator.To compare two fractions, convert them to a common denominator.
Two ways: convert them to decimals or convert them to similar fractions and compare the numerators.
you compare them
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.
you have to compare the common fractions
You can either convert fractions to decimals and compare the decimal numbers; find equivalent fractions with the same denominator and then compare numerators or find equivalent fractions with the same numerator and then compare denominators.
To compare fractions, convert both of them to a common denominator.
