First both fractions must be converted so that the denominators are the same:
1/6 - 1/9 = 9/54 - 6/54 (54 being the least common multiple of 6 and 9)
Second, subtract the numerators (top numbers):
9/54 - 6/54 = 3/54
Third, if necessary, simplify the fraction:
1/6 - 1/9 = 9/54 - 6/54 (converted)
9/54 - 6/54 = 3/54 (solved)
3/54 = 1/18 (reduced)
Greater than > Lesser than <
Change the whole number into an improper fraction with the same denominator as the fraction and then subtract accordingly
When the numerator gets bigger, the fraction gets bigger; that is, it has a greater value The opposite is true if the denominator gets bigger; in this case the the fraction gets smaller; that is, it has a lesser value
Find a common denominator of the fraction parts (the least common denominator is the popular choice). If the fraction part of the subtrahend is bigger than that of the minuend, you need to subtract 1 from the integer (whole number) part of the minuend and add it (as a fraction) to the fraction part. For example, 5 3/7 becomes 4 10/7. Then you can subtract the fraction parts by subtracting the numerators, and subtract the integer parts, provided the integer part of the minuend is greater than or equal to that in the subtrahend. If not, reverse the roles of the minuend and subtrahend and use the above method to subtract, then make the sign of the difference negative.
If the signs are the same, add the absolute values and keep the sign. If the signs are different, subtract the lesser absolute value from the greater absolute value and keep the sign of the number with the greater absolute value.
28 is greater as it is a whole number. 0.05 is a fraction so is lesser.

When the numerators are the same, the fraction with the higher denominator is less than the fraction with the lower denominator. The denominator indicates the size of the "parts" being shown as a fraction, and the higher the denominator, the smaller those parts are!
You can subtract the bigger fraction by the smaller fraction and then put a minus sign in front of the answer.
To compare two fractions, you convert them to equivalent fractions with the same denominator. Then you can compare their numerators (top parts). In that case, the fraction with the larger numerator is larger.

greater trochanter and lesser trochanter
If the signs are the same, add the absolute values and keep the sign. If the signs are different, subtract the lesser absolute value from the greater absolute value and keep the sign of the number with the greater absolute value.
First you would want to change the mixed number to an improper fraction. Then you can subtract
5.1 is greater than 5.01
