you turn them both into x halves, and the one with more halves is the larger number.
Hmm, using a calculator or a piece of paper & a pencil, divide the 'bottom' number of each fraction into its 'top' number. Reading from left to right, compare each division answer digit for digit - whenever one fraction has a larger value, then that is the larger fraction. eg 0.739 is larger than 0.738564321 - but not by much!
Then the fraction with the smaller denominator is larger.
You can determine if fractions are equivalent by simplifying them to their lowest terms or by comparing their cross products. If two fractions simplify to the same value or if the cross products (the product of the numerator of one fraction and the denominator of the other) are equal, then the fractions are equivalent. For example, for fractions a/b and c/d, they are equivalent if a * d = b * c.
If the numerator (the number above the line) is bigger than the denominator (the number below the line) then the fraction is bigger than 1, e.g. 4/3.
To determine if the quotient of two fractions is greater than 1, compare the two fractions directly. If the numerator (the first fraction) is greater than the denominator (the second fraction), the quotient will be greater than 1. Alternatively, you can convert the division of fractions into multiplication by flipping the second fraction and multiplying; if the result is greater than 1, the original quotient is also greater than 1.
If both fractions are made up of positive integers then the easiest method is to cross-multiply.If you want to compare A/B and C/Dlook at AD and CBIf AD > CB then the fraction with A in it ie A/B is bigger.If CB > AD then the fraction with C in it ie C/D is bigger.If AD = BC, the two fractions are equal.
The correct spelling is fractions instead of fractans. Comparing fractions means to tell which fraction is smaller and which is bigger.
The bigger the denominator(lowest) the smaller the fraction
Then the fraction with the smaller denominator is larger.
In that case, and assuming both fractions are positive, the one with the larger denominator is the smaller fraction, because you are dividing by a larger number.
divide the numerator (top number of the fraction) by the denominator (bottom number of the fraction)
Oh, dude, comparing fractions with the same denominator but different numerators is like comparing apples to slightly different apples. You just look at the numerators and see which one is bigger. It's not rocket science, just basic math. So, like, if you have 3/5 and 4/5, you can tell that 4/5 is greater because 4 is bigger than 3. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.

If the fraction is 4/4 and 4/4 they are the same. if the fraction is 2/4 and 3/4. 3/4 Is larger.
Two fractions are equivalent if the fully simplified fractions are equal. If you can multiply the fraction with the smaller numerator and denominator by the same value to equal the second fraction. For example the fractions 3/4 and 9/12. The nominator and denominator, 3 and 4 have both been multiplied by 3 to equal 9/12. Cross multiply. If the products are equal, the fractions are equal. Cross multiplying means to multiply each numerator of one fraction with the denominator of the other fraction.
you can find the percent of each fraction and when you see the biggest percent that is your answer . :) hope this helps u
If the numerator (the number above the line) is bigger than the denominator (the number below the line) then the fraction is bigger than 1, e.g. 4/3.
Because when you change a fraction into a decimal and change the decimal into a percent it all adds up... Let me explain... 1/2 is a fraction The decimal of 1/2 is 0.5 Move the decimal point 2 places to the right and you get the percent of 0.5 which is 50%. Fractions and decimals are the same, they're just used in different forms.
