From what I remember, usually comparing 2 fractions means to determine which one is greater. For example compare 2/3 and 3/4. Either convert both to decimal if you're allowed to have a calculator, then you can certainly do that by just dividing. Or you can find a common denominator for the two fractions, and compare the equivalent fractions. In this case the lowest common denominator is 12, and 2/3 is 8/12 and 3/4 is 9/12. Since 9 is bigger than 8, then 9/12 is greater than 8/12, and 3/4 is greater than 2/3.

What does benchmark fractions mean?
They are fractions which a user is familiar with or comfortable with, and which can be used to compare a given fraction.
How do you compare dissimilar fractions compare the numerator?
Two ways: convert them to decimals or convert them to similar fractions and compare the numerators.
What does percent mean when used to make a comparison?
One way to compare two fractions is to convert both to a common denominator. Then the only difference is in the numerator. Comparison of the numerator is then sufficient to compare the fractions. A percentage is equivalent to converting the fractions to a denominator of 100.
How do you equal fractions?
To compare fractions, convert both of them to a common denominator.
How do you do compare and order fractions and mixed numbers?
It may be simplest to convert them all to a common form: rational fractions, decimal fractions or percentages and then compare them. When you are more expert, you may be able to convert them pairwise into a common basis and compare.

What are compatible numbers for fractions?
I am not entirely sure what you mean, but if you need to add, subtract, or compare two fractions, they need to have the same denominator.

How can you compare fractions of the same whole?
you compare them
How do you compare fractions in terms of similar and dissimilar fractions?
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.
How do you find fractions from least to greatest?
you have to compare the common fractions
How do you compare 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.
How do you equal fractions?
To compare fractions, convert both of them to a common denominator.
How do you compare 3 or more fractions?
Find the equivalent fractions with the same denominator (the least common multiple) and then compare the numerators.
How do you do compare and order fractions and mixed numbers?
It may be simplest to convert them all to a common form: rational fractions, decimal fractions or percentages and then compare them. When you are more expert, you may be able to convert them pairwise into a common basis and compare.
