Are mixed numbers higher than fractions?
Yes
What are regular fractions?
Regular fractions are the fractions with a numerator that is less than the denominator and irregular fractions are fractions with a denominator less than the numerator.
Are there 5 equivalent fractions of 2 thirds?
There are actually far more than 5 fractions that are equivalent to 2 thirds. Some fractions that are equivalent are 4/6, 6/9, 8/12, 10/15, 12/18, 14/21, etc.
What does it mean to compare fractions?
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.
Is 8 over 12 larger than 2 over 3?
No. The two fractions have identical values.
